4 rounds x 60 min
FORMAT
  • 1-2 DSA + LP behavioral questions per round

ROUND 4

Focus on horizontal scaling, load balancing, and db sharding. Be ready to justify architectural decisions using trade-offs.

What's Different Here

✦

Every round (even pure coding) allocates 15-20 minutes for Amazon's 16 Leadership Principles (LPs).

✦

One interviewer is a designated 'Bar Raiser' who focuses entirely on cultural alignment and long-term potential.

✦

Coding questions focus heavily on Trees, Graphs, Heap/Priority Queues, and Dynamic Programming.
