Started with an OA, followed by a virtual onsite. 3 Rounds consisting of DSA, LLD, and Behavioural questions. Strict emphasis on Leadership Principles. Most questions that were asked were related to Heaps. The entire process took 5 months.

Question 1
Tell me about a time you were able to deliver under a tight deadline, followed by the opposite of this question.
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.
I applied online. I interviewed at Amazon (Sydney)
