  • Q2. Explain the code that you wrote in detail.
  • Ans. 

    The code I wrote is a function that sorts an array of integers in ascending order using bubble sort algorithm.

    • The code starts by iterating through the array and comparing adjacent elements, swapping them if they are in the wrong order.

    • This process is repeated until no more swaps are needed, indicating that the array is sorted.

    • The time complexity of bubble sort is O(n^2) in the worst case scenario.

    • Example: int[] arr = {

Interview Preparation Tips

Round: Resume Shortlist
Experience: I had an employee referral for Amazon. It definitely helps the shortlisting process.

Round: Test
Experience: After the resume shortlist, they sent a coding challenge which can be solved in the language of your choice. It consisted of two technical questions, which were fairly simple. One of them was 'Most Common Word' from Leetcode.
Followed by that were around 100 non-technical personality questions (multiple choice). Amazon places its Principles highly and these questions should be answered seriously. They twist a question and ask it multiple times to check for consistency. There are no correct answers and no perfect candidate. So do not worry about being wrong.


General Tips: Most of the questions are intentionally ambiguous. Ask clarifying questions to understand the question, before jumping to the solution.
Also, do not forget to focus on the principles. For every principle, think of a similar situation you have faced in your life. Be ready to answer that in the STAR format. Stay calm and be confident.
Skills: Communication, Problem Solving, Leadership, Time Management
Duration: 1-4 weeks
