I applied online. I interviewed at Amazon in Jun 2019
Interview
It was a drive in a campus for Amazon pay team. Was really exhausting, I was only called for two interviews but had to just sit there and wait for hours before each. Took all day, and they didn't even hire anyone from the drive.
First interviewer was cool, seemed like a genuine guy. Second interviewer, younger than the first, was totally faking his smile, seemed egoistical, started interview with "what is you favourite data structure", implying he would ask hardest question from that and ridicule you, I first answered Hash map, he told me to choose something else, I then chose Tree, he asked 3 algo questions on Tree and time complexity of solutions, which I answered correctly, and he then switched to another misc algo question about sorting a topologically sorted linked list with both positive and negative numbers
Interview questions [2]
Question 1
Find most repeated number in list, and also find how many times it's repeated.

Interview includes 2 coding rounds, 1 system design round, and STAR-based behavioral questions. Focus on DSA, especially graphs and trees. Also prepare Gmail filtering, timestamp-based filtering, and related implementation concepts.

I attended an SDE 1 interview at Amazon. The interviewer focused on data structures, algorithms, and problem-solving. I explained my approach clearly, optimized my solution, answered behavioral questions, and gained valuable interview experience.
Asked for intro, then 2 dsa question and 1 question on lp. Explain your thought process and start with brute force dry run it explain its tc and sc and theb jump on to optimised solution
