I recently gave amazon OA on hackerrank platform for SDE1. There were 2 coding questions along with explaining the algorithm
- K closest point to origin - https://leetcode.com/problems/k-closest-points-to-origin/
- Treasure Island 1 - https://leetcode.com/discuss/interview-question/347457
I solved both of these question with all test cases. Results awaited.
Edit1- 4 Dec 2021
I got call from recruiter on first week of Nov 2021 (after 5 months of test) that I've cleared the OA. The next round was scheduled after 1 week, 2 rounds were on same day.
Round 1- https://leetcode.com/problems/maximum-number-of-events-that-can-be-attended/ - Solved
Round 2- Bottommost left node of Binary tree. Solved it with some hints.
Got a call from Amazon after 5 days that first 2 rounds are cleared and that last 2 rounds will be in next 2 days. I could not give this last round as it was conflicting with my family function. Next date was given after 4 days. Could not give interview on this date also as I was still busy in family function.
Got a call from HR asking the reason for not giving further rounds. Ultimately, I had to withdraw my application from Amazon.
I prepared for Amazon for more than 6 months and solved more than 250 Leetcode problems but in the end, I was helpless and had to opt out of the interview process.
Will start preparation again in next few days and hope to crack this time.
