I applied through college or university. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (San Jose, CA) in Nov 2024
Interview
1 OA, then one 3 round interview. OA was hard but you did not need 100% to advance and multiple people i knew passed without passing all test cases. Final round was 1 LLD, 1 behavioral and one leetcode round with 2 med-hard questions.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Tell me about a time where you were already halfway through a project when you realized something was wrong and had to redo/ go in a different direction.
Interview by recuriter, Phone interview over Chime with one easy Leet code problem and 2 behavioral questions. Although the interviewer was very casual at the start of the conversation, it quickly changed into behavioral questions at the start.

Question 1
Encoding optimization algorithm and talk about a project you did recently.
First round is just leet code coding which screens through AI before going into live coding. Pretty simple and straighforward. Not too tough. Recruiter walks through it pretty nicely. Not sure how many rounds there are exactly
After submitting my application for the Software Engineer position, I received an invitation to complete an automated Online Assessment (OA). The assessment consisted of standard coding challenges, primarily focusing on algorithmic and data structure problems. Unfortunately, a few days after submitting my solutions for the assessment, I received an email informing me that I would not be moving forward in the interview process and was rejected.
