On 26 March, 2025 my first interview was scheduled for SDE-1 role at Amazon.
Round 1 ->
Print Largest valid parenthesis from the input string.
Ex-> ()(())))) -> ()(())
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 ->
Stone Collision. Interview kept asking for more optimization , I went from sorting to priority queue still he wanted more optimization
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.
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.
