Question 1
The screening round was an online test for like 3 hours. It went well, and I was selected for that. But in the actual interview, I was initially asked about my projects and 2 DSA Questions. The first DSA question was a maximum subarray-based question, and the second question was a finding the shortest path in a graph-based question
The interview was heavily focused on GenAI and Amazon Leadership Principles. The Technical Manager did a deep dive into my approach to prompting LLMs and how I optimize workflows using them. In contrast, the SDE Engineer’s questions were more direct and strongly centered around Leadership Principles.
