I will not be able to share the exact questions because I have signed NDA.
Role - SDE -1
Location: California
Leetcode count: ~ 150 ( ~100 Medium, ~40 Easy, ~10 Hard)
Phone Round:
Leetcode Medium: Tree traversal
Follow-up was to do it recursively.
On-site Rounds:
-
Round 1: 1 hr LP round. Lots of behavioural + LP questions (Manager took this round)
-
Round 2: LP for 30 mins. Leetcode hard. String problem. I could only solve it by sub-optimal approach. It was difficult for me to solve in interview especially in 30 mins.
-
Round 3: LP for 20 mins. Leetcode medium. Design problem (OOD). I haven't seen the exact problem on leetcode. It was a lengthy problem. I was able to implement the code but one function was incomplete due to lack of time. Interviewer was okay with it.
-
Round 4: LP for 20 mins. Leetcode medium. Graph problem. I haven't seen the exact problem on leetcode. I was able to implement the code.
I think I performed well in LP and behavioural but the coding part of round 2 didn't went well.
Received reject after 3 days. In the rejection email, the recruiter mentioned that I can still be considered for future roles. Amazon did not give me any cooling off period. Do anyone know why ? Any suggestions/opinions are welcome !!!
