round 1 asked a leaderboard design problem; the interviewer kept interrupting me when I was explaining my thought, so I had to keep rephrasing myself. also bq cost quite some time. round 2 asked a leetcode question. The interviewer was better than round 1, still spent tons of time on bq questions. round 3 asked a question called abusive words, which I saw exact same question on hack2hire so I got chance to prep before the interview. even with prep I still had to put some effort on edge cases. round 4 was sys design
Tough interview.
The Process: Automated Online Assessment (OA) with 2 coding questions and a system simulation, followed by a 4-round virtual Loop. Every single round started with 20 minutes of intense, behavioral behavioral questions diving into Amazon's Leadership Principles, followed by 25 minutes of technical coding or system design.
Amazon interviews are a test of mental endurance because you have to switch from deep behavioral storytelling straight into complex coding which can be so difficult. I used Apex Interviewer to practice the cognitive context switch. Running through their live-coding workspace helped me ensure my technical communication and architectural structures remained sharp and automatic, even after spending the first half of the interview defending my past project metrics. I fed the practice AI questions I extracted from glassdoor and gothamloop.
In the end, the offer was way lower than I hoped.
