Amazon SDE 1 FTC Interview Process

I recently had the opportunity to interview at Amazon, and I'm thrilled to share my experience with the community 🤩. Here's how it went:

Round 1: Online Assessment

• 2 DSA questions (easy to medium level): I was able to solve both problems.
• Leadership Principle Behavioral Questions 🤔: These questions tested my approach to problem-solving, teamwork, and leadership.

Round 2: Technical Interview 1

• 2 LeetCode questions:
  1. Find all permutations (recursion)
  2. Daily Temperatures (stack-based problem)
• 1 Leadership Question: This round helped me understand how Amazon's leadership principles are applied in real-world scenarios.

Round 3: Technical Interview 2

• 2 LeetCode questions:
  1. Variant of finding cycles (I used topological sort to solve it)
  2. Variant of Word Break problem
• 1 Leadership Question: More scenarios to demonstrate my problem-solving skills and leadership approach.

Round 4: Bar Raiser Round 🔥

• No DSA questions, only behavioral leadership principle-based questions. This round was challenging, with questions like:
  • "Tell me about a time when you received bad feedback from a customer 🤦‍♂. What did you learn, and how did you react?" 🤔
  • Other scenario-based questions that tested my thought process and decision-making.

After this round, I wasn't sure if I'd made it, but a week later, I received an email confirming that I'd cleared all rounds 🎉. I'm excited to join Amazon this June 🎊!
