I applied online. The process took 4 months. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Jul 2025
Interview
I have given loop, first round was completely technical where i was asked questions on DSA, and then 2 leetcode medium level problems and later worked on scaling them more
second round was a LP and coding mix round had 2 behaviour questions and system design on pizza toppings
3rd round was a full LP round where interviewer grilled me for 55mins non stop asking multiple followups about how and why did even had a sec gap it was like a rapid fire round for 55mins
I felt i did well through out the interview but ended but not getting the offer

Question 1
Asked me to code meeting schedule problem after i have done coding asked me on how i can scale it to integrate it with the internal amazon system
Surprisingly easy — I expected tougher questions, but the coding round felt more like a warm-up. The main challenge was a DSA problem about counting islands in a 2D grid, which led to a discussion on DFS versus BFS and handling large grids. Funny enough, I had revisited that exact type of question while prepping on PracHub, which made me feel more confident. The interview wrapped up with a behavioral round, and I accepted an offer, but ultimately decided to decline it for another opportunity. Overall, it was a smooth experience.

Question 1
Number of Islands — given a 2D grid of '1's (land) and '0's (water), count the number of connected islands. Walk through DFS vs BFS, and discuss how to avoid revisiting cells (in-place mutation vs visited set) and what changes if the grid is huge and must stream from disk.
It started with an OA, and then after a few weeks, I got invited to four rounds of interviews: technical and behavioral at 3 of the 4, and behavioral only at one.
I applied online. I interviewed at Amazon (Calgary, AB) in Jun 2026
Interview
Online Assessment is the first step in the process. I didn’t have an HR phone screening and went straight to the OA after applying. It was sent to me about a week after I submitted my application.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
The first question is LeetCode style algorithms question, and the second question gives a full stack repo (choice of Java, NodeJS, or Django) and asks to solve a backend issue which is causing a bug in the frontend. Unit tests must pass to pass the second question. You can run both backend/frontend indivdually or together
