After the online assessment, I had three back-to-back interview rounds. The first was fully behavioral, focusing on my past experiences and team collaboration. The second was an object-oriented design round, where I was asked to design a system related to video games. The final round involved solving two algorithm problems under time pressure.

Question 1
One question they asked was: “Tell me about a time you had to solve something under time pressure.”
It was part of the behavioral round, and focused on assessing how I stay calm, prioritize tasks, and still deliver quality results when working under tight deadlines—aligned with Amazon’s Leadership Principle of “Bias for Action.”
I received an Online Assessment (OA) invitation from Amazon. The assessment consisted of two coding questions of medium to hard difficulty, focusing on data structures, algorithms, and problem-solving skills. The questions required efficient solutions with optimized time and space complexity. After the OA, shortlisted candidates typically proceed to one or more technical interview rounds covering coding, system design, and behavioral questions based on Amazon's Leadership Principles.
Applied online via career site, received OA link within 2 days and cleared it, Round 1- DSA, Round-2 DSA, Round 3- System Design, Round 4- Mixed Technical Discussion and Behavioral.
