Location: Seattle, WA, US
Interview date: 2026-03-20
I interviewed for an intern position. The first interviewer had been at Amazon for 8 years. I was given a simplified version of a Top K problem. The remaining 40 minutes were spent on behavioral questions, which felt like a casual conversation.
When I mentioned details about projects I worked on during my internship in the behavioral questions, the interviewer asked me to elaborate deeply. I think this was because they needed to take notes and needed to understand my project first. The interviewer asked how to resolve disagreements within a team and what to do if project deadlines were tight and the workload was heavy.
The second interviewer had been at Amazon for 14 years and gave me a very simple in-place array sorting question. The remaining 50 minutes were also spent chatting for behavioral questions, including questions about my experience learning new technologies quickly and how I use AI.
