Status: Work experience 1+ year
Position: SDE1 at Amazon
Location: Hyderabad, India

Coding round (Hackerrank) (75 minutes):
- 1 ad-hoc question (dont remember exactly, was pretty easy)
- 1 binary search question: Given K cabs, where ith cab takes Ki minutes, what is the minumum time to complete N trips with K cabs. Assume no waiting time between trips.
Onsite round: (4 hours):
Onsite round 1 (1 hour)
- question1: https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/segregate-even-and-odd-numbers/
- question 2: same as previous question while maintaining the same order. The interviewer expected an O(N) time and O(1) space solution. I couldn't code this. (Later I found out that it's impossible to do this. The interviewer had no idea though.)
Onsite round 2 (1 hour)
- question 1: don't remember the exact question, but was similar to TSP.
Lunch: This can also be counted as a culture fit kind of a round.
Onsite round 3 (1 hour)
- Was interviewed by the hiring manager. He was an old SDE at Amazon, in my sister team. Hence has some Amazon leadership principles related discussion.
Onsite round 4 (Bar Raiser)
The experience was good, but the recruiter ghosts you a lot after the interview.
