[true inlet]

lc tagged?

and did you have OOD

[dark patrol]

How were your finals? All 3 rounds went well or 1 50/50?

[vernal dust]

phone? i thought it’s OA-> final?

[coarse ore]

Did you get all test cases on the OA

[indigo maple]

• Interview 1: All LP, no coding
• Interview 2: LC tagged medium variant of LRU, and then a follow up on how to make it LFU + some LP
• Interview 3: OOD similar to file system problem + some LP

I Did well on the first and second, but the third one was 50/50 as it was very open ended, and I was not well prepared for OOD.

[indigo maple]

yes passed all test cases on OA

[indigo maple]

It depends on the orgs, AWS for example does not do phone, other orgs does.

[light cypress]

Can you guide for OA?? Like other then coding what questions are asked?? And how to prepare those??

Also how many coding questions are asked in OA?? I guess LC prep is the way for that??

[light cypress]

This was for New grad right??

[ornate hollow]

Location?

[true inlet]

thanks! sheesh you managed to code both LRU and LFU in the 1 hour or was the followup just verbal explanation/psuedocode

[indigo maple]

For the OA, other than the two coding problems, there is a workstyle assessment where you have to choose between two statements, which one appeals to you the most. This is the best resource to understand their LP https://www.scarletink.com/interviewing-at-amazon-leadership-principles/
Always try to prioritize these in this order:
1-Customer first
2-Be an owner
3-Never miss a deadline

Yes it is new grad, Boston

how to prepare for OOD

[indigo maple]

the LFU was just verbal, the LRU I did not have to code everything, we assumed that some helper functions are already there

[indigo maple]

I did not indicate any preference

[indigo maple]

A call then an email

[indigo maple]

The start of Jan

[light cypress]

are LP questions tough in OA?

or could be managed without going thru material?

[indigo maple]

It's like a mcq personality test , it does not need preparation, but the material will just help know what kind of people they are looking for, so that you know how to answer.

[light cypress]

okkk thanks because i am short on time.. giving finals and need to take this OA also.. so struggling with time
