I applied through college or university. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Amazon (Chennai) in Sep 2025
Interview
The interview process consists of two technical rounds, each designed to evaluate different aspects of problem-solving ability:
1. First Round – Coding Assessment
The first level is a hands-on coding interview where candidates are given two programming questions.
The goal is to implement working solutions that successfully pass all the provided test cases.
This round primarily evaluates:
Logical thinking
Problem-solving efficiency
Code correctness and edge-case handling
2. Second Round – DSA Coding Interview
Candidates who clear the first round proceed to a more in-depth Data Structures and Algorithms (DSA) interview.
This round focuses on:
Understanding of core DSA concepts
Ability to apply algorithms to real-time problems
Optimizing solutions for time and space
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Given an array of student marks, find the minimum number of chocolates to distribute so that every student gets at least one chocolate and students with higher marks than their adjacent peers get more chocolates.
i applied online around october, got the OA around march/april originally for summer but headcount was reached so i expressed interest in being considered for their fall internship. they reached out in late may and got my interview scheduled in june
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
LP behavioral questions, questions about gen ai and how i incorporate them. lc4 and lc130
LC top 100 tagged — would recommend doing the top 100 and it is likely you will have question from there — the first 40 mins were behavioral lp, then the technical
The Quick DSA Check: A 20-minute easy question usually means the company treats coding as a baseline filter rather than a tool to stump you. They want to see clean code, good communication, and proper edge-case handling without the stress of a complex puzzle.
The Deep Dive: Spending time on your projects and tech stack allows you to show ownership. Interviewers love to see why you chose a specific technology and how you handle technical trade-offs.
The Behavioral Weight: A full 30 minutes dedicated to behavioral questions means this team deeply cares about culture fit, communication, and how you collaborate under pressure.
