On 26 March, 2025 my first interview was scheduled for SDE-1 role at Amazon.

Round 1 ->

  1. Print Largest valid parenthesis from the input string.
    Ex-> ()(())))) -> ()(())

  2. Find Median from 2 sorted array.

Struggled little bit in the first question. Solved both of them and got call for second round scheduled on 27 March.

Round 2 ->

  1. Stone Collision. Interview kept asking for more optimization , I went from sorting to priority queue still he wanted more optimization

  2. Given a dp array that represent a sum that can be achieved in number of ways. dp[2] = 5 represent the sum 2 can be achieved in 5 ways. Construct the coins array from this dp array. Got lots of hints from interviewer but struggled to solve this one.

I have prepared a lot for these interviews and based on all the interview experience available Amazon was asking named DSA questions I dont know why but I was asked question a bit on the hard side.
Have not received any update yet.I know its rejected!

EDIT
GOT THE CALL FOR FINAL ROUND AND CLEARED IT.
AMAZON IT IS.

ROUND 3
It was a leadership principle round where mostly questions revolve around behavior, resume grilling and past experiences.

  1. Explain a time when a learned something new, how I approached it.
  2. Explain a time when I stepped out of my comfort zone.
  3. There was 1 more question couldn't recall.

These question seems easy but your answers matter a lot. There is a detailed in depth discussion about each and every word of your answer and at the you will realise how crazy this round was.
