Hey guys,
I had my Amazon SDE-1 interview loop today. I have received a lot of information from people in the community so I thought I should give it back.
The interview format was 3 hours interview, 60 minutes each and three different interviewers.
Round 1 LP + Coding: This round was majority LP based questions and one coding question. LP questions were pretty straightforward and was able to provide answers properly, 1-2 follow up per question. Coding question - Pizza Shop question where I was given inputs like Base, Size and Number of toppings and he gave me a formula to calculate price of the pizza. Pretty straightforward hashmap based question. One follow up question as to how I cna modify this code to take multiple pizza orders.
Round 2 Coding: This round was heavily coding round. The interviewer asked me teo coding questions. Question 1: Binary Search Question (Koko Eating Bananas on leetcode) but in this instead of bananas it was cookies. Question 2: Graph traversal question (Course Schedule) but instead of course, it was project and its prerequisites. I think so I bombed this round because I was not able to solve the second question. I gave him a basic idea but couldn't code the entire solution (graphs is my weak link).
Round 3 LP: This round was purely LP. The interviewer asked me around 6-7 questions and around 3-4 followups after each question.
Overall I did pretty well in my interview, except for the graph question. I believe the first interviewer was the hiring manager since he bagan by describing the role and challenges I will solve on the job. He was impressed by my LP answers as it was relating to the job description. I hope I get a positive response from the interviewers.
