Amazon Interview Experience | Set 275 ( Off-Campus SDE-I Experienced)
Last Updated : 23 Jul, 2025
I was interviewed in Delhi for SDE-I position in Kindle Frameworks Team at Amazon. I was working as a Project Lead in Samsung, Noida and had a total experience of 1 year 10 months in the Software Industry.
Round 1 : Written
The interviewer was highly impressed with my coding skills and shook hands with a sense of approval.
Round 4 : Hiring Manager (F2F)
The Hiring Manager introduced himself and told me that I’ve been doing really great till now. Then he grinned at me and said “ Lets hope you don’t mess it up in this round “ .
(1) Which Sorting Algorithm is the fastest and why would you prefer it over others ?
While telling the answer, I said in between “ If there would have been millions of numbers…… “ and he caught that specific word of mine “millions” and hence the next 2 questions found the way on their own.
Then he stood up and shook my hands with a broad smile and said “ Well Done Man ! ” and left.
Round 5 : Bar Raiser (F2F)
Design an Algorithm to Transform One Word to Another through Valid Words of a Given Dictionary. (It is clearly a variation of the Edit Distance Problem, but in Edit Distance we do not care about if the intermediate word is valid or not)
Only this question was asked in this round and the discussion went on for about 45 minutes.
