Me postulé en línea. El proceso tomó 2 meses. Acudí a una entrevista en Amazon (Seattle, WA) en ene 2025
Entrevista
The entire process took 2 months for me --no offer
Initially I got screening call from Amazon recruiter, called me for initial screening and said there will be an assessment
I got assessment link and cleared the questions standard LP style problems 1. linked list, 2. some 2D array
After 2 days recruiter called me said I have cleared the 1st assignment and scheduled interview after 1 month.
Interview has 4 rounds loop interview There were no LC questions asked in interview But still I was not selected.
My suggestion is concentrate more on LP questions and OOP concepts

System design: Build a system expenses tracking application
The technical round focused on a DSA problem about finding the closest points to the origin, where I was asked to explore multiple approaches like sorting, heaps, and quickselect. It felt straightforward, and I was ready for it thanks to the time I spent on PracHub brushing up on similar questions. The interview also included a behavioral section, but overall, I found the process to be very easy. Happy to say I received an offer, which I gladly accepted!

Pregunta 1
K Closest Points to Origin - given an array of points on the 2D plane and an integer k, return the k closest points to the origin (0,0). Walk through sort-by-distance O(n log n), heap-based O(n log k), and quickselect O(n) average; discuss when to prefer each based on the relationship between n and k.
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.
