I applied through university. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Hyderābād) in Jun 2026
Interview
There were 4 rounds of interview
1st round:
Asked 2 dsa question of medium-hard level. Topics were dp and graph. Then a littile bit project discussion
2nd round:
Asked 2 dsa question of easy-meduim level. Topics were dp and string. Then some behaviour questions
3rd round:
Asked 1 dsa question of easy level based on minimum sliding window.
I had given only 3 rounds and then was rejected.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
They asked a minimum sliding window problem.
Given 2 strings s and t, find minimum length substring of s which contains all characters of t (including its frequency)
Recruiter screen, followed by an online coding assessment and then a technical phone interview. The final round was a virtual onsite loop with multiple interviews covering data structures, system design, debugging, and Amazon Leadership Principles. The technical questions were practical but time-constrained, and the behavioural questions required specific examples using the STAR format.

Question 1
Design a scalable URL shortening service and explain how you would handle high read traffic, collisions, database schema, expiration, and basic monitoring.
That moment when the interviewer asked about finding indices in an array for a target sum was wild — I had just tackled something identical while prepping on PracHub. The interview included a technical round with another question about designing an in-memory LRU cache and a behavioral question about meeting tight deadlines. After a smooth discussion, I was told I'd received an offer, which I happily accepted. Overall, the process felt pretty straightforward and not overly challenging.
Interview questions [3]
Question 1
Given an array of integers return the indices of two numbers summing to a target
Interviewed for silicon team. Have only been asked about the domain specific knowledge in 1st round and system design in 2nd round and C coding in 3rd round.
The interviews were 50 mins each.
