Hello everyone,

I have an interview scheduled for tomorrow, but due to some personal issues, I won't be able to attend. I asked the HR to reschedule it, but she insisted that I take the interview tomorrow because the interview pipeline depends on interviewer availability.

After I explained my situation, she said she would look into rescheduling, but she wasn't sure if another slot would be available. She also mentioned that if I don't attend tomorrow, the interview might get delayed for quite some time. At the end, she said she would let me know.

It's been a few hours, and I haven't heard anything back yet.

What should I do? Should I reply to the scheduled interview email saying that I'm ready to attend the interview because I'm afraid of losing this opportunity, especially after getting this opportunity after so much struggle?

What would you guys suggest?

So I got selected in mlss but didn't receive any acknowledgement letter or anything about swags(yea I missed some modules but thought that I can complete in 30 days and my attendance will be tracked as they mentioned the recordings will be live for 30 days)

Nvm ig I fucked up

Now I want to know what they ask in interview and how many people are selected.

Also do they have any bias for girls or tier 1/2 colleges? And do they keep interview a lil bit easy for people getting through mlss

Ps: I haven't received any oa link yet..like have heard people get it late so I just want to confirm about this

Hey everyone,

I have my Amazon SDE I virtual interview coming up in about a week in the US. It’s 4 × 60-minute rounds spread across two days, and I’m trying to figure out what I should prioritize with the limited prep time I have.

For anyone who has interviewed recently for Amazon SDE I/new grad in the US:

1. What were your rounds like?
2. What DSA topics/patterns should I prioritize the most?
3. Did you get an LLD/OOD or System Design round?
4. How difficult were the coding questions (LC Easy/Medium/Hard)?
5. If you only had one week to prepare, what would you spend most of your time on?

Would really appreciate any guidance from people who have gone through the process recently. Thank you!

I just received an interview invite from Amazon. The interview availability window mentioned in the mail is 21 Aug – 21 Sep.

The issue is that I currently have project reviews going on, and I also have my mid-sem exams during the first week of September. Because of that, I would ideally like to give my availability from around September 5 onwards.

My concern is: Is it okay to give availability that late within the provided window? Will Amazon simply schedule me based on the availability I provide, or is there a possibility that they might not follow up / consider me unavailable?

PS.. I don't know from which one I got this interview mail, coz i applied to both hackon and off campus and gave 1 OA and passed all testcases (both dsa and debugging)

If anyone here is an Amazon employee, recruiter, or has gone through a similar Amazon interview process, I'd really appreciate some insight.

Should I confidently give Sep 5 onwards as my availability, or would it be better to provide some earlier dates as well?

I applied for an Amazon SDE role on August 11, and about 3 days later I received the OA.

The first coding challenge was about bags represented by a list of intervals. Each entry was basically "[left, right, money]", meaning every bag from "left" to "right" contained that amount of money. Bags outside those intervals contained 0. The goal was to choose exactly "k" consecutive bags and maximize the total amount of money collected.

My approach worked for some test cases, but when I submitted it, several of the hidden cases failed with Time Limit Exceeded, and I ended up passing around 4–5/15 test cases.

The second part was an AI-assisted Java Spring Boot repository task focused on RBAC/security, where I only passed 1/6 tests.

I genuinely did my best and prepared a lot for this opportunity, so seeing those results really hurt. I still completed the full assessment, including the work simulation/work style section, but I’m feeling pretty disappointed right now.

Has anyone here had results this low and still moved forward in the Amazon process? Do I realistically still have a chance, or is it basically over?

Brooo i gave round 1 on 18th 11-12 idk how to asses how good i did but i know there should be a round2 at some point

Anyone who gave AUTA interview schedules 17-18 especially 18 tell me if they have received links for round2
I pray and hope i didnt botch it with one round🙏🏻🙏🏻

Hi everyone,

Can anyone guide me regarding the interview which is going to be conducted anytime from tomorrow onwards? I have a few doubts and would really appreciate if someone can help me with them:

1. Will there be any telephonic interview, or will they just call me to ask about my availability and schedule the interview?
2. I received this email today. When can I expect the call?
3. Will there be an LLD-based interview as well? In the interview preparation guide they sent me, they mentioned focusing on System Design Basics, including API design, database concepts, scalability, and distributed systems. What should I expect based on this?
4. Is there anyone who recently got this interview or has already given the interview? If yes, could you please share your interview experience?
5. What resources should I prepare from for this interview?
6. Can someone help me find the recently asked questions/topics for this role?
7. This opportunity came on the basis of my performance in last year's HackOn. Will the interview be different in any way, or will they conduct it like a regular SDE-I interview? I have heard that interviews through HackOn can sometimes be different from regular off-campus applications, so I would really like to know if anyone has experience with this.
8. How many interviews can I expect, and can someone provide a detailed breakdown of each interview/round and what is generally asked in each one?
9. The email specifically mentions "Gen AI fluency." How and from where should I prepare for GenAI? What kind of GenAI questions can be asked in an SDE-I interview?

I have attached the screenshot of the email I received today for context.

Any guidance from someone who has recently gone through this process would be really helpful. Thanks!

Not those who got interest form then applied

Anyone from those who directly applied on career portal ??

Feeling a little depressed, this is my second time interviewing at amazon and getting rejected….

I’m not sure what went wrong, i completed the technical parts fine with maybe a couple of typos, and then i answered the behavioral parts with 13 STAR stories following the LPs with metrics as well.

Just a rant

Attended an interview for this last Friday evening. Went pretty well - one standard behavioral question- answered that and follow ups keeping to LPs and one standard topo sort scenario .. coded up and explained - uneventful, everything answered. No updates yet. Anyone been through/going through this? How long do you wait for an update? It just says under consideration.
