I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in May 2026
Interview
Two back to back rounds - each round combined with bq and leetcode questions. The interviewers are pretty nice. The leetcodes questions are not hard (pretty reasonable for interns to solve)
Standard LC mediums, nothing too crazy. Interviewer was pretty chill and was helpful in pointing me in the right direction when I needed as well. Only thing I would probably change was to study more on graph problems before hand.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
You are given an 0-indexed integer array weights, where weights[i] represents the weight of the i-th marble, and an integer k.
Your task is to divide the marbles into k bags such that:
No bag is empty.
Each bag must contain marbles from a contiguous range of indices. That is, if a bag includes marbles at indices i and j, then all marbles with indices between i and j (inclusive) must also be included in that same bag.
The cost of a bag that includes marbles from index i to j (inclusive) is defined as weights[i] + weights[j].
The total score of a distribution is the sum of the costs of all k bags.
Return the difference between the maximum and minimum possible scores among all valid distributions.

Interview
Online assessment completed with Claude assistance, followed by a four-month wait, then two one-hour virtual zoom interviews combining behavioral and technical rounds covering a resume deep dive and leetcode-style problem solving.
