1. A recruiter will reach out via email or LinkedIn
2. Phone Screen
3. Video Interviews
4. Onsite interviews
5. Offer or no offer
Behind the scenes, a hiring committee decides on offer or no offer, and also collectively sets your level (which dictates your salary range). A hiring manager will then usually follow up by phone within two days to one week to let you know the outcome.
If Amazon does make you an offer, the recruiter will discuss the terms with you (salary, work location, hours, etc.). If you choose to negotiate (and you should!), any adjustments would be approved by a separate compensation committee. If everything is cleared, the recruiter will send over the necessary paperwork.

Question 1
Given two strings text1 and text2, return the length of their longest common subsequence.
Surprisingly easy — I expected tougher questions, but the coding round felt more like a warm-up. The main challenge was a DSA problem about counting islands in a 2D grid, which led to a discussion on DFS versus BFS and handling large grids. Funny enough, I had revisited that exact type of question while prepping on PracHub, which made me feel more confident. The interview wrapped up with a behavioral round, and I accepted an offer, but ultimately decided to decline it for another opportunity. Overall, it was a smooth experience.

Question 1
Number of Islands — given a 2D grid of '1's (land) and '0's (water), count the number of connected islands. Walk through DFS vs BFS, and discuss how to avoid revisiting cells (in-place mutation vs visited set) and what changes if the grid is huge and must stream from disk.
It started with an OA, and then after a few weeks, I got invited to four rounds of interviews: technical and behavioral at 3 of the 4, and behavioral only at one.
