I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Amazon (Bengaluru) in Jan 2021
Interview
The interview procedure had 5 rounds . The 1st round was a hackerrank test of 90 mins.The 2nd and 3rd round focused on behavioral questions as well as coding. 4th round being a managerial round focused more on behavioral questions follwed by basic coding questions.The 5th round was technof unctional round or maybe bar raiser .It focused on the code quality as well as the approach of the candidate.In all the rounds you will be asked to write a pitch perfect code.My interviewers were really friendly and co operating .
Interview questions [8]
Question 1
Group anagrams together.eg: [cat,dog,tac,god]
output : [ cat,tac,dog,god]
Given 5 songs .Play them in random fashion.Make sure the songs dont repeat in one iteration .Move to next iteration once all songs are played in the first iteration and so on.
given a array of strings check if a word can be divided into substrings such that the substrings are also present in the list.if yes group them together into a list.Eg : spoonful,air,spoon ,black,ful
output: [ [spoonful,spoon,ful] ]
The first step is OA. Which I have failed. The questions seemed to me a bit different from the typical LeetCode. But if you follow the patterns, you can solve it.

Question 1
Two problems, one code base problem needed to solve with AI and another LeetCode-style problem
Wasn’t bad, had two rounds both technical
Round two was one one one call pretty easy and leetcode priority queue and stacks got the offer in one week and then started working
first was OA which was coding vs some personality/teamwork. then 4 rounds + bar raiser. standard behavioral + coding. some rounds focused questions on AI like how we use it in work.

Question 1
how do you use AI in your work? what were the tradeoffs? how do you validate your work?
