Level: Intern
Round: Full Journey · Type: Multiple Types · Difficulty: 6/10 · Duration: 180 min · Interviewer: Unfriendly
Topics: Behavioral Questions, Leadership Principles, Technical Questions, System Design, BFS, DFS, Time Complexity, Space Complexity
Location: Seattle, WA
Interview date: 2026-01-11
Question: The round consisted entirely of behavioral questions focused on Amazon's leadership principles. The structure involved "Tell me a time when…" questions, follow-up questions, and reflections on what I would do differently.
Question: Two technical questions. The first involved a lottery system where I needed to find k winners with the highest probability, given a linear relationship between spending and winning. The second required writing a validation function for an Amazon training courses catalog. I was asked follow-up questions about time and space complexity, and the differences between BFS and DFS.
Question: This round was split between behavioral questions, similar to the first round, and a system design question involving a package installer system that respects dependency resolution. A follow-up question asked what to do if the package had a payload to pass to install.
