Summary

I applied online for an SDE 1 role at Amazon in the USA, went through an online assessment, three rounds of interviews focusing on LP/LLD, data structures & algorithms, and behavioral questions, and ultimately received an offer.

Full Experience

More About Interview Day:

Round 1: LP+LLD(Library mgmt system + Use design patterns in the code)

I had to take a lot of hints in the design pattern part.

Round 2: 3 Leetcode Medium-Hards (2D DP, Heap, BST respectively)

Could not code BST question but coded first two before time maybe that's why BST question was asked because so much time was left.

Round 3: Completely Behavioral (I'm guessing this was the bar raiser)

The usual behvioral questions but only 2 questions for 1 hour. Interviewer dived very deep into each of the questions. Nobody has ever (even me) thought about the projects and given time to introspect the projects before him.
