      Application

      I applied through university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Amazon (Hyderābād) in Aug 2014

      Interview

      On-campus recruitment: A 1.5Hr test consisting of MCQ's and 2coding questions. Followed by a tech interview. b)First Interview Q1) Given a sorted array of zeros and ones, find the number of zeros in the array.A: First I told him the brute force approach, he asked of time complexity then how is it O(n)then I told him we could use binary search, explained how, then I was asked to write code.there was a bug pointing which he gave me a test case, which I then rectified.Time complexity was asked and how was it O(logn)? Q2) Given a sorted array of integers, find the number of times a given number K occurs in the array. A: Use binary search on both sides and add, average time complexity came out to be O(n). Both left and right halves were to be checked only when key==mid.Time of round : 15-20 mins c)Second Interview Q1) Given a number n, the number of open paranthesis find number of all possible valid pattern of pairs of pranthesis. eg. n=2 (()) , ()() A: Used backtracking. -What all subjects you have studied? -C , DS, OS. Q2) Questions on OS- -How does a process start -diff b/w process program -what does running a process mean -what gets loaded on memory when a program is run -from where and how memory is allocated during runtime -what is system call -What all topics do you know in DS? - Stacks, Queues, Deque, trees. -Haven't you know graphs? - I know but not a very good grasp on it. Q3) Given a tree find shortest path between any two given nodes. A: Find nearest ancestor find heights from there, add them. He asked extra iterations for heights were required? Returned height while finding ancestor. Asked to code. Asked to explain the code, then dry run for any test case. A bug was found and corrected.

      Interviewed for silicon team. Have only been asked about the domain specific knowledge in 1st round and system design in 2nd round and C coding in 3rd round. The interviews were 50 mins each.

      Interview

      The phone screen went longer than expected, focusing heavily on implementation details. The interviewer really grilled me on my approach to a Least Recently Used (LRU) cache, asking how I'd combine a hashmap with a doubly linked list. I felt well-prepared since I had gone through system design examples on PracHub, which made me comfortable discussing eviction policies. The later rounds included more technical questions and behavioral interviews, but in the end, I received an offer, though I ultimately decided to decline. Overall, I’d say the process was average, with solid questions.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Design and implement a Least Recently Used (LRU) cache supporting get(key) and put(key, value) in O(1) average time. Walk through combining a hashmap with a doubly linked list, eviction policy when capacity is exceeded, and how you'd extend it to handle thread-safe concurrent access.

      Questions were mainly hashmap, sliding window and interval related.
