Fiz uma entrevista na empresa Amazon (München, Bavaria).
Entrevista
I received an invitation to complete Amazon’s Online Assessment I, which involved two coding challenges, followed by Online Assessment II that focused on behavioral questions and a role-specific case study. Approximately a month later, I was invited to the on-site interview, which consisted of three rounds: the first assessed behavioral competencies aligned with Amazon’s Leadership Principles, the second focused on technical problem-solving, and the final round combined both technical and behavioral evaluation.

Pergunta 1
I believe all the questions were equally important, so it’s difficult to single out one as the most significant. The technical questions focused on data structures and algorithms, while the behavioral questions were centered around Amazon’s Leadership Principles.
Loop — 4 rounds, all on the same day
Round 1 — Coding (DSA)
Interviewer was a senior SDE, very friendly.
Warm-up + behavioral: "Tell me about a time you took ownership of something outside your responsibilities."
Main question: Given a list of meeting intervals, find the minimum number of conference rooms required. I used a heap. He then asked a follow-up: what if meetings could be reassigned to minimize total idle time? We discussed approaches but didn't fully code it.
He cared a lot about how I talked through edge cases out loud.
Round 2 — Coding + Problem Solving
LP question: "Describe a situation where you disagreed with a teammate."
Coding: LRU Cache implementation from scratch. I used a hashmap + doubly linked list. He pushed on thread-safety and what happens at capacity 0.
Round 3 — Behavioral (Bar Raiser)
This was the toughest round — no coding, all Leadership Principles, very deep STAR-format probing.
Questions I got:
"Tell me about a time you failed and what you learned."
"A time you had to deliver something with a tight deadline and limited information."
The bar raiser kept drilling: "What was your specific contribution?" "What would you do differently?" "What data did you use?" Have 6–8 strong stories ready with metrics.
Round 4 — Low-Level Design
Design: Design a parking lot system (classes, vehicle types, spot allocation, pricing). Then he asked me to code the findSpot() and releaseSpot() methods.

Most coding questions were LeetCode Medium. Common themes: graphs, heaps, sliding window, hashmaps, and LRU/design., system design,
Great interview process with three rounds, including a technical assessment and a technical interview. The interviewers were professional and supportive throughout the process. The questions mainly focused on DSA, problem-solving, and core technical concepts. The discussions were engaging and provided a good opportunity to demonstrate technical skills. Overall, the process was well-structured, smooth, transparent, and a very positive experience.
Candidatei-me por meio de uma faculdade ou universidade. Fiz uma entrevista na empresa Amazon (Dublin, Dublin).
Entrevista
Online techincal assessment. Had to screen share and complete basic coding tasks similar to Leet Code. Could choose a language of your choice. Overall a very fair system and judged based on merit.

Technical assessment so a basic leet code style question about reversing the orders of long numerical strings.
