Hello Everyone,
I have recently recieved offer from amazon, it is really a dream come true moment. I'm really thankfull to the leetcode community.
Timeline: I have applied to the generic student program job req through referal in Nov 2020 and got 3 online assesments by Mid December.
OA1- Debugging assessment, got 7 debugging questions to fix them, usually there is a minor logic error in the code which you need to fix and the time is 20 mins. I did all of them(7/7)
OA2: Got OA2 link within the same day after OA1 and need to solve 2 coding questions, usually they are leetcode medium-hard. I had one question passed with all the test casses and other i got some issue with partial test casses passing.
OA3: And the last one is work simulation, this is mostly related to Leadership principles
Once all the assesments are done i got an email to schedule 3 interviews for 45mins each(if you are lucky you can get one interview which only 30mins)
And finally the big day arrived, this is my first interview so was very scared and excited.
For all the rounds first 15 mins was behavioural questions and next 30 mins for a coding question
Round 1: Tell me about a situation when you had no time to explore all the paths for a particular problem and choosen one. what was the outcome?
And the coding question was related to topological sort (graph) question.
Round 2: Tell me about a situation when you had a tight deadline and what are the sacrifices you made to achieve the deadline.
coding question was again related to graphs(BFS)
Round 1 and 2 really went well and the interviewers were really good, we had a good discussion.
Round 3:Tell me about a time when you faced a challenging situation?
Coding question: question was related to design a game and this round didn't go well, as the interviewer didn't allow me to write the code and was asking lot of questions and continuosly interrupting regarding my approach. And finally in last 10 mins he allowed to me code but was not able to finish totally.
I was really scared and thought wouldn't be able to get the offer. But i think that my bar riser round went really well. Job description has changed to "moved to another job" the next day after my interview.
And finally got the offer. Once again thank you to the leetcode community.
