I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Amazon (Hyderâbâd) in Aug 2025
Interview
The overall flow was easy, first a recruiter contacts you through phone call, it is generally from US/UK and make sure that you pick that phone call on time. The recruiter will tell you about the timings for the next set of interviews that are being scheduled.
First round of interview:
2 interviewers, a 15 min discussion on my past experience and hackathon wins ( amazon rarely discusses this in initial round but yes, they were interested in knowing about the microservices based architecture in which I had worked earlier). Got 2 easy question for that interview.
2nd round, again 2 interviewers, got asked 3 problems, 1 was of trees, medium difficulty traversal problem, need to do some pruning to optimize my solution. The other two were dp questions, basically they were followup of each other, basic dp problem again, rated medium at leetcode
Verdict: got better compensation at a different company, so opted that over amazon
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Tree traversal
Dp
Prefix sum problems
Difference array problems
Heaps are a important thing, as around 50% problems that amazon asks use this for optimization
I received an Online Assessment (OA) invitation from Amazon. The assessment consisted of two coding questions of medium to hard difficulty, focusing on data structures, algorithms, and problem-solving skills. The questions required efficient solutions with optimized time and space complexity. After the OA, shortlisted candidates typically proceed to one or more technical interview rounds covering coding, system design, and behavioral questions based on Amazon's Leadership Principles.
Applied online via career site, received OA link within 2 days and cleared it, Round 1- DSA, Round-2 DSA, Round 3- System Design, Round 4- Mixed Technical Discussion and Behavioral.
