Interview
I gave an interview in December 2024, and I had 1 interview, which consisted of 1 DSA question and a couple of follow-ups for that question. Then the interviewer asked 2 behavioral questions, and I have answer then based on the STAR pattern.
I interviewed at Amazon Web Services (Seattle, WA)
Interview
In person interview conducted with team; 1 hour with the hiring manager, and 1 hour with a member on the team. Hiring manager took around ~1 hour just on behavioral(heavy emphasis on how I use AI in schoolwork/projects), and 1 hour with a member on the team with ~20 minutes behavioral, 40 minutes LC style coding round.
The interview process consisted of one round. The interviewer began with two to three behavioral questions focused on past experiences, teamwork, and problem-solving approaches. After that, the interview moved to a technical section where I was asked to solve a coding problem similar to those found on LeetCode. The interviewer also discussed my approach and reasoning while solving the problem.
