Online test: (60 mins) 2 coding questions of medium difficulty level. The Amazon online test (20 questions) is based on OOPs, DBMS, operating systems, data structures, and algorithms.
Technical Interview 1: Project discussions, coding questions based on DS algorithms, and quizzes. It basically tests real-world problem-solving skills.
Technical Interview 2: Questions of relatively higher difficulty level (mostly DS and algorithms-based)
Bar raiser round: Behavioral questions and project discussions. Some technical questions are followed by an assessment of leadership quality and cultural fit.

Question 1
"Given n non-negative integers representing an elevation map where the width of each bar is 1, compute how much water it is able to trap after raining
I received an Online Assessment (OA) invitation from Amazon. The assessment consisted of two coding questions of medium to hard difficulty, focusing on data structures, algorithms, and problem-solving skills. The questions required efficient solutions with optimized time and space complexity. After the OA, shortlisted candidates typically proceed to one or more technical interview rounds covering coding, system design, and behavioral questions based on Amazon's Leadership Principles.
Applied online via career site, received OA link within 2 days and cleared it, Round 1- DSA, Round-2 DSA, Round 3- System Design, Round 4- Mixed Technical Discussion and Behavioral.
