(USA) Amazon SDE 1 Interview Experience

Mar 20: Applied Online (no referrals, just applied on their portal) - Tailored resume to add keywords like distributed systems Apr 6: Online Assessment (2 coding questions + work simulation) Apr 8: Received Survey via email June 4: Interviews Scheduled (3 back to back interviews) June 9: Got Result - Accepted Offer \--- More About Interview Day: Round 1: LP+LLD(Library mgmt system + Use design patterns in the code) I had to take a lot of hints in the design pattern part. Round 2: 3 Leetcode Medium-Hards (2D DP, Heap, BST respectively) Could not code BST question but coded first two before time maybe that's why BST question was asked because so much time was left. Round 3: Completely Behavioral (I'm guessing this was the bar raiser) The usual behvioral questions but only 2 questions for 1 hour. Interviewer dived very deep into each of the questions. Nobody has ever (even me) thought about the projects and given time to introspect the projects before him. \--- Interview Prep Resources: LC Amazon Tagged questions, Striver's list, the famous LLD repo, STAR method practice - chatGPT was a saviour in structuring stories according to STAR method!
