I applied through college or university. I interviewed at Amazon (Bengaluru) in Mar 2026
Interview
I recently had the opportunity to interview with Amazon. The process consisted of a technical round that evaluated both my problem-solving skills and my understanding of modern technologies.
In the DSA section, I was asked a question based on partition dynamic programming. The problem required identifying optimal ways to divide a structure (such as an array or string) into segments and applying DP to compute the best result. I approached it by defining a state, exploring all possible partitions, and building a recurrence relation. The interviewer focused on my thought process, clarity in explaining transitions, and time complexity analysis.
In addition to DSA, I was also asked several Generative AI theory questions. These included concepts like Large Language Models (LLMs), differences between traditional machine learning and generative AI, and practical ideas such as Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) and hallucinations. The discussion emphasized conceptual clarity and real-world applications rather than deep theoretical details.
Overall, the interview experience was positive and well-structured. The interviewer was attentive to my approach and encouraged clear communication throughout the discussion.
i applied online around october, got the OA around march/april originally for summer but headcount was reached so i expressed interest in being considered for their fall internship. they reached out in late may and got my interview scheduled in june
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
LP behavioral questions, questions about gen ai and how i incorporate them. lc4 and lc130
LC top 100 tagged — would recommend doing the top 100 and it is likely you will have question from there — the first 40 mins were behavioral lp, then the technical
The Quick DSA Check: A 20-minute easy question usually means the company treats coding as a baseline filter rather than a tool to stump you. They want to see clean code, good communication, and proper edge-case handling without the stress of a complex puzzle.
The Deep Dive: Spending time on your projects and tech stack allows you to show ownership. Interviewers love to see why you chose a specific technology and how you handle technical trade-offs.
The Behavioral Weight: A full 30 minutes dedicated to behavioral questions means this team deeply cares about culture fit, communication, and how you collaborate under pressure.
