I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Amazon (London, England) in May 2024
Interview
I got referred by a friend for few roles in different times and finally got contacted by recruiter. Then had an online assessment which was on technical and leadership questions.
After passing them I had a phone call, it is weird that the question I got was kind of mix of 2 few questions to solve to come up with the right answer and also I have to say it was not from top Amazon questions, it was not typical leetcode question, but question that needs DS and Algo knowledge to solve. I could not finish the solution on time.

Question 1
Leet code and assisted debugging and 15 pillar of Amazon leadership questions
Good interview process overall. The questions were mostly focused on general software engineering knowledge, with a strong emphasis on AI concepts. The interviewers were professional, and the process was well organized.

Question 1
System design and a lot of questions “imagine the situation”
The interview was basically a screening round, It was just a quick interview to get to know if I was worth the company's time. The dsa round was pretty easy but once they got into system design it was harder.

Question 1
They asked dsa questions like trapping rain water and a stack question similar to valid parenthesis.
