I applied through university. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (New Delhi) in Mar 2026

Interview Process
The process consisted of two rounds: a Technical DSA Round and a Hiring Manager (HM) Round. The experience was part of an on-campus drive.
The first round was strictly technical, focusing on array manipulation and greedy logic. The second round was supposed to be a mix of project discussion and "GenAI Fluency," but it ended up being a deep dive into my primary project followed by a challenging CPU scheduling problem. While the interviewers were professional, the HM round was more technical than advertised, requiring a solid grasp of edge cases in greedy algorithms.
Interview questions [3]
Question 1
Two City Scheduling (LeetCode 1029). You are given an array of 2N people, where each element contains costA and costB. You need to send exactly N people to City A and N people to City B such that the total cost is minimized.
Interview Question:
Buildings With an Ocean View (LeetCode 1762). Given an array of building heights, identify the indices of buildings that have an unobstructed view of the ocean to their right. A building has a view if it is strictly taller than all buildings to its right.
Interview includes 2 coding rounds, 1 system design round, and STAR-based behavioral questions. Focus on DSA, especially graphs and trees. Also prepare Gmail filtering, timestamp-based filtering, and related implementation concepts.

I attended an SDE 1 interview at Amazon. The interviewer focused on data structures, algorithms, and problem-solving. I explained my approach clearly, optimized my solution, answered behavioral questions, and gained valuable interview experience.
Asked for intro, then 2 dsa question and 1 question on lp. Explain your thought process and start with brute force dry run it explain its tc and sc and theb jump on to optimised solution
