Interview Questions (7)
I was presented with a DSA problem to find the K-th Largest Element in a Stream. The interviewer requested an implementation and follow-up discussions on edge cases and optimization.
I was asked to discuss a situation where I had to handle conflicts within a team.
I was asked to describe a time when I demonstrated taking ownership.
I was asked to share an experience where I learned from a failure.
I was asked to recall a time when I showed ownership without being explicitly told to do so.
I was asked to describe an instance where I had to learn something new under pressure.
I was asked to explain how I manage deadlines and handle multiple tasks concurrently.
Preparation Tips
For preparation, I focused on:
- Sticking to Striver’s Sheet / NeetCode 150 for DSA.
- Practicing mock behavioral interviews based on Amazon LPs.
- Practicing explaining code and trade-offs clearly.
My final thoughts are that Amazon's intern hiring is DSA-heavy, behavioral-focused, and rewards candidates who communicate well and show ownership. Consistency and clarity will take you far if you're aiming for an SDE intern role at Amazon.
