I applied online. I interviewed at Amazon (Bengaluru) in Aug 2022
Interview
The selection process consisted of three stages: two online assessments and two face-to-face interviews. The first online assessment included general core computer science questions and a coding question. The second round focused entirely on coding. During the face-to-face interviews, the third round involved medium-level data structures and algorithms questions, while the fourth round assessed behavioral aspects.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
You are given an m x n grid where each cell can have one of three values: 0 representing an empty cell, 1 representing a fresh orange, or 2 representing a rotten orange. Every minute, any fresh orange that is 4-directionally adjacent to a rotten orange becomes rotten. Return the minimum number of minutes that must elapse until no cell has a fresh orange. If this is impossible, return -1. similar to this
The interview process was straightforward and friendly. It started with a recruiter screening, followed by a technical interview. The interviewer asked basic coding questions, object-oriented programming concepts, and a few behavioral questions based on Amazon Leadership Principles. The coding problems were not very difficult, and the interviewer was willing to provide hints when needed. Overall, the experience was positive and well organized.
