During Amazon's virtual onsite for the SDE intern role, I was asked a coding question involving prefix search. Given a list of words and a prefix, I had to return all matching words. I started with a simple startswith() loop, then optimized it using a Trie. Implemented insert, prefix search, and DFS to collect all matches. Interviewer was friendly and liked the structured approach.
I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Amazon in Jan 2025
Interview
The interview was very unorganized. My interviewer seemed unfocused and inattentive to whatever I was saying throughout the interview, and she seemed to not have a basic understanding of basic Python.

1. CPU architecture.
2. GPU architecture.
3. Networks.
4. AI agents.
5. AI algorithms.
6. Complexity analysis.
7. Small part related to hashmaps.
