Coding Part
- The round comprised two coding problems, one easy and one medium (similar to Leetcode difficulty levels).
- The interviewers shared a link to the Amazon Live Code platform, where the problem statements and test cases were already provided.
- I was given a minute to read each question and propose an initial approach. They engaged in discussions about the chosen approach, its time and space complexity, and potential optimizations.
- Throughout the coding process, they were supportive and actively pointed out any errors I made.
- I successfully solved both problems optimally!
The interviewers concluded by asking if I had any questions for them. I opted for some casual inquiries.
Amazon Interview Experience for Applied Scientist Internship
My first interview round (Coding round) was initially scheduled a day before my semester exam. I requested rescheduling, but due to time constraints and a high volume of candidates, it was postponed to a day after my semester exam. The interview was scheduled for one hour, from 10 am to 11 am. Conducted virtually on Amazon’s Chime platform, I joined the meeting 10 minutes before, where I was placed in the waiting area until the interviewer allowed me into the meeting at exactly 10 am.
