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.

Pregunta 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.
Me postulé a través de una facultad o universidad. El proceso tomó 6 semanas. Acudí a una entrevista en Amazon
Entrevista
Going through my university's career services, Amazon got in touch with me for an interview early in the year. After a 90-minute interview in two 45-minute sessions, the process was over. I heard back from them about a month and a half later, with an internship offer for the summer. I had about 10 days to accept and they covered my relocation and travel.

Difficult: Finding a particular combination of numbers from an array with particular properties, without a floor or ceiling on how many different numbers could be involved.
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.
