Status: 5 years of experience as a Software Engineer
Interviewed for Position: SDE2 at Amazon
I have been solving LC questions based on Amazon tag for the past 2 months
Location: Seattle

Phone Interview :
It consisted of 3 questions:

  1. Which Data Structure you would use to find the second largest element in an array - I was able to give two different approaches along the TC and SC. I told the Brute force approach, using Priority Queue ( I should have also mentioned Quick Select Algorithm - is that the reason I was rejected? :/ )
  2. https://leetcode.com/problems/insert-delete-getrandom-o1/ - insert, delete, print in reverse order, find - was able to solve in like 10 mins along. Also mentioned the TC and SC
  3. Most Common Words in a sentence - Again solved it in like 10 mins mentioning both TC and SC

Note
I prepared for LP questions and atleast expected some questions in regards to my resume(He just asked me how to pronunce my name and thats it). But I wasnt asked any!!!!

I did really really well!!!! I was confident that I would move on to the next step of the process but got a rejection email the next day! I couldnt understand even now what went wrong.
