I applied online. I interviewed at Amazon (Gurgaon, Haryana)
Interview
I was called for written test at Amazon. I was asked to write program for 3 problems. HR sent me a mail 1 day before the interview providing me the list of websites to prepare from. The list contained geeksforgeeks and glassdoor. I answered all the 3 questions best to my knowledge. Of course there were few silly mistakes as I do not have experience in writing programs on paper. After that I was told to leave for the day. Obviously I wasn't selected. I was wondering what could be better solution to those problems. I searched all 3 programs on google. To my surprise all the 3 of them were from geeksforgeeks. The solution provided by me matched to the most effiecient solution provided by the website. The only only reason that I feel for my rejection was silly mistakes, but my approach was definitely same as best solution on that website. May be other people have already prepared for those questions beforehand as HR gave tip to practice from that website and all the 3 question were from it. I never expected a company such as Amazon would just copy paste problems from some practice website and they would not even have their own questions to evaluate people.
Interview questions [3]
Question 1
Given an array, print the Next Greater Element (NGE) for every element. The Next greater Element for an element x is the first greater element on the right side of x in array. Elements for which no greater element exist, consider next greater element as -1.
The interview was basically a screening round, It was just a quick interview to get to know if I was worth the company's time. The dsa round was pretty easy but once they got into system design it was harder.
