Amazon Interview Experience for Summer Internship (On-Campus)

• Date: August 2022
• Company: Amazon
• Location: Bangalore, India

Introduction:

I recently had the opportunity to interview for a position of summer intern at Amazon and this was an on-campus opportunity.

Round 1: Online Assessment Round (90 min)

• The online round consisted of two questions.
• Question 1: You are given a LinkedList and you need to find the longest nonincreasing segment (i.e. subarray), you were required to return the segment in the form of LinkedList.
• Question 2: You are given an array and a number X, you need to find the total number of pairs in the array which are divisible by X.
• This was followed by a very long feedback form.

Round 2: Technical Interview – I (60 min):

• The interview started with the interviewer giving a brief introduction about himself and then I gave my introduction.
• Question 1: It was similar to this problem. (https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/problems/rotten-oranges2536/1)
• Question 2: A slight variation to this problem (https://leetcode.com/problems/partition-labels/), here we were required to print only the number of partitions and there was an array instead of the string.
• I explained both the questions and I was asked to reduce the time and space complexity as much as possible.
• Suggestion- I would suggest going through previous interview experiences and revising basic techniques like hashing, prefix sums, etc.

VERDICT: ACCEPTED
