Just got a surprise email from Amazon saying I have an Online Assessment (deadline tomorrow night) for an internship SDE role. I want to do well. I heard that part 1 is 7 debugging questions. Can anyone elaborate on this process? #amazon #interview #intern #sde
The Big N threads at r/cscareerquestions should have what you're looking for
It's 7 coding questions with the code already pre-filled in. There's some bug in there, like flipping a '<' to '>' or checking the bounds of a loop. It was easy AF, I finished it in under 10 mins
7/7 on part one!
Congrats! Any LPs?
Sorry, what's LP?
Part 2 is 70 minute coding section. Anyone know what this entails? LC? Then followed by 20 min Leadership Principles scenarios. Then mysterious Part 3 follows.
LC easy. I finished both in 20 mins
For intern interview? I will grind some LC easy's.. Stacks, Queues, Graphs, Linked Lists, that sort of thing?
Part 2 did not go well. Questions seemed hard but it was probably just the stress I guess. I was doing fine on LC past few days.
Don't beat yourself up over it. Just keep hammering out LCs and apply again. Getting mediums done is a must. Remember there's more than one software company. The world is being digitized every minute.
From memory alone your should be able to recall the following (brute force, recursive, and iteratively) and their time/space complexity: - DFS - BFS - Sliding Window - Trees - BST - Hashmap - Graph - Linked List These are your tools, the rest is just applying them to your LC practice.
I just got the assessment
How did it go? Can you please share your experience?
It wasn’t debugging questions. It was 3 medium leetcode questions in 75 mins for me.
Let me know how it goes, I'm not an intern but I have an OA coming up next week for SDEII
SDEII will not have debugging rounds, it will only have coding round.
Yeah mine were 2 LC hard questions both involving graphs
