Amazon | SDE-Intern(2020) | Seattle | Offer

I applied for the SDE-Intern position in early September 2020. On September 17th, I received an assessment link that comprised three distinct parts. I completed all three assessments by September 29th.

The first part was a simple 20-minute debugging round, consisting of 7 questions. The second part involved two online coding questions, both rated as LeetCode Medium, specifically "Two Sum" and a problem on "k nearest points using Euclidean Distance." The third and final part was a two-and-a-half-hour work simulation and logic ability test, featuring multiple-choice questions focused on problem-solving sequences.

On October 11th, I received an email inviting me to move forward with the final interview round and to fill out a survey with available interview dates. My interview was scheduled for November 7th and lasted 45 minutes.

During the interview, I faced both behavioral and technical questions. The behavioral questions included: "Have you ever worked on a tight deadline?", "Tell me about a time when you took help from a senior," and "Describe a time when you got stuck on something and whether you delivered on time." The technical questions involved: "Binary Tree Level Order Traversal," "Zigzag Traversal," and a "modified Two Sum" problem. My knowledge of sorting algorithms, specifically counting sort and merge sort, was also tested with particular given inputs.

The interview concluded on a positive note, with me asking the interviewer about their experience and journey at Amazon. I received an offer on November 13th, 2020. I could also track my application status on the Amazon career portal before the official offer.
