Amazon Interview Experience | 2 Months Internship
Last Updated :
04 Oct, 2024
I applied for a two-month internship at Amazon through their website, and part of the process was taking an Online Assessment (OA) within 15 days of applying. The OA consisted of two coding questions and a few behavioral questions. Fortunately, I was able to solve both coding problems and confidently submitted my answers.
After around 2-3 months—much longer than I had expected—I received a surprising call for an interview. I wasn't anticipating this after all the previous rejections, so my expectations were low, especially since my interview was scheduled right after my end-semester exams.
Round 1: Technical Interview
On the interview day (Nov 28th, if I recall correctly), I wasn’t as nervous as I usually am. The interview took place on Chime with two interviewers. They presented me with two DSA questions. One was about finding the Kth smallest/largest number, which I solved using queues, and the other was converting a number into Roman numerals. I was able to solve both questions efficiently, with time to spare.
The interviewers then asked me about my projects—specifically, the challenges I faced while working on them. Finally, I asked a few questions related to Amazon's work and how it ties into my previous internship experience, before concluding the interview.
The Happy Ending
I’ll never forget the most exciting day of the semester—Dec 8th—when I received the result. I had been selected! It was one of the happiest moments I had experienced in a long time.
