Ho presentato la mia candidatura tramite l'università. Ho sostenuto un colloquio presso Amazon (Chennai) nel mese di gen 2025
Colloquio
The interview process for the Amazon SDE Internship was structured and focused on both problem-solving skills and core computer science fundamentals.
I had a technical round where I was given two coding problems to solve:
Find the element that occurs only once – This tested my ability to optimize for time and space using techniques like XOR operations and hash-based counting.
Zigzag (Spiral) Traversal of a Binary Tree – This problem focused on tree traversal logic, use of queues/stacks, and writing clean, iterative/level-order solutions.
Throughout the interview, I explained my thought process, clarified constraints, and discussed possible edge cases and time-complexity tradeoffs. The interviewer also evaluated how I approached the problem, communicated my reasoning, and optimized the solution.
Overall, the experience was smooth and well-organized. The interviewer was supportive, and the session felt conversational while still challenging, giving me a good opportunity to demonstrate my coding skills and understanding of data structures.

It had 2 rounds, and each one had some behavioral questions as well as one technical question. The behavioral questions were about different group work situations that I had before, and I had to describe them. The technical questions were LeetCode medium.

The role I was interviewed for is SDET. It was through our campus placements. There was an initial screening test, followed by 2 more online interview rounds. The screening round consisted of 7 chapters, like OOPS, Database, Linux, Computer Networks, Programming and so on.

The screening round was an online test for like 3 hours. It went well, and I was selected for that. But in the actual interview, I was initially asked about my projects and 2 DSA Questions. The first DSA question was a maximum subarray-based question, and the second question was a finding the shortest path in a graph-based question
The interview was heavily focused on GenAI and Amazon Leadership Principles. The Technical Manager did a deep dive into my approach to prompting LLMs and how I optimize workflows using them. In contrast, the SDE Engineer’s questions were more direct and strongly centered around Leadership Principles.
