“Describe a time when you had to make a decision with incomplete information.”
Technical / Coding:
Data structures and algorithms: e.g., “Top K frequent elements”, “Longest substring with at most K distinct characters”.
System design: “Design a bookstore system where multiple books exist and you need to return the count of a particular word appearing in a boo

The Amazon interview process was structured and transparent, beginning with an online assessment followed by virtual technical rounds. Interviewers focused on problem-solving, system design fundamentals, and behavioral questions based on Leadership Principles. Communication was clear throughout, and I received timely updates from the recruiting team.
