Round 1: happened on hackerrank and it composed of 2 programming questions followed by 2 subjective questions where I needed to explain my approach for the coding questions asked and their time and space complexties. It was followed by a 15 minute assesment where behaviour questions were asked.

Q1 = Easy medium LC
Q2 = something related to dfs
Acutaully after i gave the recruiter told the drive is for chennai for which i wasn't interested and asked him i'll wait for bangalore

Round2: Hiring Manager Round/system design round
This round started with a brief introduction of me and then he wanted to understand one of my projects in detail. It took us some time because the manager did not have a networking background. Then i was asked to design a fully automated parking Lot system. i think i kinda panicked and messed up the round here. i was grilled on the payment part of the design where we had to take care of a lot of failure cases .
Then we walked over some LP questions

My Verdict : medicore . he suggested me on what lines he was expecting

Round 3 problem solving /DS & ALGO

  1. somewhat similar to divide the given values into 2 subsets
    I gave a recursive solution and a DP solution. For some reason the interviewer took time to understand even though i did explained and coded them well
  2. check if a given graph is bipertite
    i initially did not know what bipertite graph was, the interviewer explained and i was able to code a DFS solution
    Was asked on some LP problems again
    My Verdict: went good. but since the interviewer took time to understand the first solution not sure if i will get a pretty good review

Round 4: problem solving /DS & Algo
https://leetcode.com/problems/sliding-window-maximum/

i wasnt able to get the optimized solution. i gave him the sliding window solution. i suggested a deque but didn't code it out and also asked him if we could go to the 2nd question as time was running out

Then one question on tree and then we had a followup question for the same. was able to explain and code the solution

Some LP questions again
MY Verdicit : mediocre as i was not able to get optimized solution for first question

Overall i am assuming it's a 3/5 and i might get rejected. haven't gotten any mail as of now but sharing the experience.
What does the community think? All those that got into amazon/rejected. will i get a call or get rejected?.
Also how long does amazon take to revert to a candidate

Nevertheless i thought my experience would be horrific but i am proud of myself on how far i have come
UPDATE :Received the mail that i did not move forward but did not give any reason
