I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Amazon (Dublin, Dublin) in Sept 2024
Interview
The process started with an online assessment that had two coding tasks and a work-style section. After I passed that, I joined a virtual onsite with three interviews. Two rounds focused on data structures and algorithms. One round focused on behavioral questions tied to Amazon’s Leadership Principles. The coding rounds were strict about explaining the approach clearly. One of them included a variant of the Sudoku verification problem, which I struggled with under pressure.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
They asked me to implement a function that checks whether a given Sudoku board is valid.
I received an Online Assessment (OA) invitation from Amazon. The assessment consisted of two coding questions of medium to hard difficulty, focusing on data structures, algorithms, and problem-solving skills. The questions required efficient solutions with optimized time and space complexity. After the OA, shortlisted candidates typically proceed to one or more technical interview rounds covering coding, system design, and behavioral questions based on Amazon's Leadership Principles.
Applied online via career site, received OA link within 2 days and cleared it, Round 1- DSA, Round-2 DSA, Round 3- System Design, Round 4- Mixed Technical Discussion and Behavioral.
