Amazon Interview Experience for SDE 1

Hello guys, I appeared in the Amazon online test and interview

ONLINE CODING ROUND

In this round, 2 coding que. were asked to me, and 1.5 hrs time was given for that

questions

• Based on heap data structure cant disclose particular que but that was based on the que like https://leetcode.com/problems/maximum-running-time-of-n-computers/#
• Que based on the greedy approach can’t disclose but easy one and I haven’t found a similar que on leetcode

TIPS FOR ONLINE CODING ROUND

• Don’t miss any coding topic que can be asked from any topic.
• As a coder, we more focus on recursive solutions as it’s smaller to write and attractive to look as well as feel but don’t depend on that have control over other topics too.
• Topics like Heaps, Binary search, Greedy, Combinotaric, and Bit manipulation are also imp. like Trees, Graps, Dp.
• Have good knowledge about other subjects with DSA like CN, and OS for MCQs.

After some days I got further communication as I got selected for the next round so the next round was a Technical interview

Technical Interview 1

The interviewer was Franks and asked me for my information. After that he straight forward went to my coding knowledge and gave me a que was like that have to find the min. skips like that DP problem like below mentioned https://leetcode.com/problems/minimum-skips-to-arrive-at-meeting-on-time/#

asked me about Time complexity. also ask me to optimize so I went to memoized then he asked me to optimize further so I also did tabulation then he said good and then he modify this problem in other ways and asked me to do that so I told him a Binary search approach also then he asked me some DSA que and then ended the interview

SAME TIPS AS ONLINE ASSESSMENTS FOR THIS ROUND

After some days I got a communication mail that I did well in 1st interview so I am invited to 2nd interview

Technical Interview 2

In this round interviewer introduced himself and asked me to introduce and I did.

After I was asked to tell the approach for a que which was binary search one, not a standard problem but similar to https://leetcode.com/problems/minimum-time-to-repair-cars/

was an easy one then started asking about the systems design que and in those I COUDN’T ans many questions coz it wasn’t good at Systems design and on a bad note my interview ended……

I got a mail as I am REJECTED. and my interview process ends on that note.

Thank you very much
