Amazon Advertising Software Engineer Interview Experience: two DSA problems with live complexity explanation

After a recruiter touchpoint, I had a virtual one-on-one technical interview with an engineer. It opened with a quick introduction and then became pure problem solving.

I solved two separate DSA problems on a shared coding platform. As I worked, I had to keep talking and explain time and space complexity. That made the session about showing my reasoning in real time, not simply writing code.

The format was straightforward and the difficulty felt average. I ended the process without an offer, but the interview was clear and focused on core technical fundamentals.

Location: Vāranāsi. Overall feedback: positive. Offer status: no offer.
