I applied online. I interviewed at Amazon (Dublín, Dublín) in Jan 2025
Interview
Passed Online Assessment (OA). Advanced to a 30-minute phone interview that included a live coding component. During the interview, I was asked about Depth-First Search (DFS) and solved a “Number of Islands” problem, which required applying graph traversal concepts to identify and count connected components in a 2D grid. I explained my reasoning, chose DFS as the traversal strategy, and worked through the implementation while discussing time and space complexity. This round tested both my problem-solving approach and my ability to communicate technical thinking clearly under time constraints.
Interview includes 2 coding rounds, 1 system design round, and STAR-based behavioral questions. Focus on DSA, especially graphs and trees. Also prepare Gmail filtering, timestamp-based filtering, and related implementation concepts.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Graphs trees star based questions filtering of emails and timestamps
I attended an SDE 1 interview at Amazon. The interviewer focused on data structures, algorithms, and problem-solving. I explained my approach clearly, optimized my solution, answered behavioral questions, and gained valuable interview experience.
Asked for intro, then 2 dsa question and 1 question on lp. Explain your thought process and start with brute force dry run it explain its tc and sc and theb jump on to optimised solution
