Status: Experienced Professional (3 YOE), Master's from Tier 1 Institute
Position: SDE2 at Amazon
Location: Bangalore, KA, India
Date: September 13th 2024

Had an OA in August, was followed up on by a recruiter 3 weeks later.
There were 4 rounds, 3 DSA and 1 HLD.

Each round had a couple of Leadership Principles' Questions each at the beginning. Unfortunately, I cannot remember the principles covered.

Onsite Round 1 - Single DSA question with an extension.
Question - Postfix with Infix with minimal parantheses

Solved the question as well as the extension with the correct time and space complexities. Covered the edge cases. Interviewer valued the modularity of the code along with the correctness.

Onsite Round 2 - Single DSA question with no extensions
Question - Longest Inclusive Range Pair.

Solved the question specifying the correct time and space complexities.

Onsite Round 3 - Single DSA question with an extension
Question - Zigzag Traversal.

Solved the question specifying the correct time and space complexities. Solved the extension as well.

System Design Round 4 - Single HLD question

Question - Update Mars Rover.

Was a pretty interesting question. The initial vagueness and lack of specified requirements made for quiet an exploratory discussion. Went well all things considered.

Result: Received an offer within 3 days of the final interview.
