Amazon SDE Intern OA Preparation – Advice on Topics & AI Repo Question?
Hi everyone,
I recently received the assessment link for the Amazon SDE Intern role.
The assessment format includes:
Coding Challenge (100 mins):
Question 1: Traditional algorithmic coding question.
Question 2: Code repository question with an AI Coding Assistant.
Work Simulation (45 mins)
Work Style Survey (6 mins)
For those who have taken the Amazon SDE Intern OA recently (especially with this new format), I’d really appreciate your insights on a few things:
DSA Topics: What core topics/patterns show up most frequently for Question 1? (e.g., Graphs/BFS/DFS, Two Pointers, Dynamic Programming, Heaps?)
AI Repo Question: How should I best prepare for the multi-file repository question with the AI assistant? Any tips on navigating or prompting effectively during the test?
CS Fundamentals & Work Simulation: Are there specific Leadership Principles or scenario patterns I should focus on for the Work Simulation?
Any guidance, high-frequency problem links, or tips on time management would be super helpful!
