!process amazon weird interview (

[viral sonnet]

Please do elaborate

[remote galleon]

Round 1: 2 behavioral questions + 30 minutes quiz DSA (every single data structure)

• 1 LC non tagged

Round 2: 2 behavioral questions + Coin change (harder version)

Round 3: full Lp.

i felt like i did LP very well because after 30 minutes he ended the interview saying that he had enough signals from me

• he even stopped me mid of my interview to give me career advices

but because my technical part was not ok so i am not sure

[next laurel]

All the best @remote galleon

[viral sonnet]

I'm dying to know more about this quiz

[tribal drift]

what was the non tagged lc?

[remote galleon]

from the most basic to advanced

like from list/array -> something rly deep like avl tree

[remote galleon]

something about finding manager of employees

[tribal drift]

makes sense, do you know what pattern it was?

[tribal drift]

bruh

you got this, best of luck!

[remote galleon]

like linked list 2 pointers stuff but i thought it was a tree

ugh like it looks exactly like lca iii

but i think its more simple than that

like i have been on this lc grind for other companies

so i did like what i did with leetcode

but he also stopped me saying that dont do it like leetcode

[tribal drift]

bruh what does that mean

[remote galleon]

i know lol weird ass interview

[tribal drift]

that's unlucky was it just one of the interviewer who was like this or all?

[remote galleon]

2nd interview was just normal coding but idk why he gave me harder coin change problem

the first interviewer hes rly senior i think

like 10 YOE

[tribal drift]

coin change ii?

[remote galleon]

2nd one i think he doesnt hold as much power as other 2

i think coin change ii or smth idk

[tribal drift]

makes sense

do you have other offers?

[remote galleon]

but idk expect some weird ass thing from amazon then

nope i dont nothing rn ha ha ha

[tribal drift]

yea fair

only reason I can think why they would take the quiz would be because of stuff like interview coder

[remote galleon]

and like when he asked dsa questions they r not like oh what is that its more like time complexity space complexity

why do we use a list for stack but not for queue

what happens when you use a list for queue

so he actually goes deep

[tribal drift]

damn that sounds intense

are you intl or citizen?

[remote galleon]

“what is avl tree? tell me about self rotation process”

thank god i can answer all of them

but i didnt do coding well

im an intl

[tribal drift]

makes sense, dw u got this!

[remote galleon]

😦 thanks!

[viral sonnet]

Like Throne inheritance?

[remote galleon]

ughhhhh what is that

[viral sonnet]

LC1600

[remote galleon]

lmao i aint winning

i just want to let people know

that amazon can be weird sometimes with their interview process

have heard alot of people saying that its not that challenging to get in

[limpid acorn]

Wow damn yea this is rlly weird

At the end of the day it’s just so rng

[viral sonnet]

@remote galleon was it similar to it?

Guess not

[remote galleon]

🙃

[fervent ledge]

you making it bro

chill

[fierce sedge]

oh how did you prepare the LP stuff if you dont mind me asking

[remote galleon]

i had alot of experiences. there were some stuff kinda cool in my internship

so i just turned them into stories

i didnt study that much for LP mostly improvising. if you actually did the work, then you would always have nice stories. it's just you gotta polish the way you talk about it

[tribal drift]

did you give mock interviews to practice?

[remote galleon]

just went through it with a few friends of mine who are product managers

i asked them to fix my responses + listening to me talking for a bit

idk it kinda worked for me.

but i'd say they detect bs pretty quick so just be yourself, and change the way you talk about things a bit

[tribal drift]

makes sense

[tribal drift]

Are the LP questions attached to resume experience/projects or general? like do they say tell us about conflict resolution in role X?

I haven’t had many interviews, so might be a naive question

[remote galleon]

nope not at all a naive question

i'd say in my interview

its more like they ask me questions about my past experiences, without referring anything to the resume, probably they want to test if what i say is the same with what im having on my resume

so again, be yourself and make sure u are at least honest 70%-80% on ur resume

my format question are "tell me about a time when you dive deep" "tell me about a time when you do something out of your responsibilities"

"Tell me about ur fav project"

[pastel furnace]

lol I also got a weird question “if you could master any skill what would it be”

[tribal drift]

what’d you say?

[tribal drift]

this was rlly helpful thx

[remote galleon]

ya goodluck

lol i messed it up alr but y’all still have a chance

[bold swallow]

is this interview for sde1?

[remote galleon]

yea

[cerulean thorn]

bro i kinda got similar ques, isnt it like lca of n-ary tree? , if its a list of employees?

was ur interviewer first name abhishek

[viral sonnet]

And the plot thickens

[remote galleon]

yea

it í

is

[cerulean thorn]

is it abhishek mehrotra 💀

and also how did u solve it?

[next laurel]

I think we can just put a counter if it is greater than or equal to 2(ie if employee found is greater than or equal to 2) return the parent or else pass the child to the top

[remote galleon]

uhh thats not the solution
