I applied through university. I interviewed at Amazon
Interview
Online assessments 1 and 2: Involved debugging, coding, logic, work simulation. The responses through each process was very very quick. The description they provide in emails are extremely thorough and helpful. Just study up on key coding concepts taught in school.
Interview revolves around Data structure and algorithm, ther askes 2 dsa questions, plus some 2 behavioural question. Interview duration is one hour, to clear that round i have to solve both the question completely within time
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
You are given two lists of closed intervals, firstList and secondList, where firstList[i] = [starti, endi] and secondList[j] = [startj, endj]. Each list of intervals is pairwise disjoint and in sorted order.
Return the intersection of these two interval lists.
A closed interval [a, b] (with a <= b) denotes the set of real numbers x with a <= x <= b.
The intersection of two closed intervals is a set of real numbers that are either empty or represented as a closed interval. For example, the intersection of [1, 3] and [2, 4] is [2, 3].
I applied online. The process took 6 months. I interviewed at Amazon (Bengaluru) in Jul 2025
Interview
1 hour interview with 2 leetcode questions with medium/ hard difficulty. The interviewer helps you if you get lost. Try to write optimal code. I got a variation of house robber question.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Variation of house robber and another was about binary trees
Had a OA first, then two virtual rounds with engineers. Mostly LeetCode-style questions and one system design. Final round was behavioral, pretty focused on leadership principles. Overall, pretty structured but intense.

Question 1
had a question on implementing an LRU Cache from scratch. had to use a combination of a hashmap and a doubly linked list. Took most of the session.
