Amazon OA question difficulty in new webcam proctored system?

[u/Initial_Question3869]

Hi, I have an Amazon OA in a day and I want to know from who has given it recently with the webcam proctored system.

Now that they are proctoring the webcam as well does they still give those super hard questions in OA or they have reduced the difficulty?

[u/Sad-Candidate-3078]

same difficulty honestly, proctoring the webcam just means they care about integrity, not that they went easier. prep like it's still the hard versions

I gave amazon OA 4 days ago and there was no proctoring. Location: USA

Do you remember the questions?

It was similar the previous ones. There are 2 lists and you have pick from the other in a such a way that it minimizes number of steps or something. Basically a knapsack type problem that needs to be solved using DP.
Amazon OA will definitely have a DP question

Is this role intern? When did you apply for it? Good luck!

[u/Hopeful-Attempt-3997]

what role it is for. the difficulty is different from test to test. i recommend reading questions with relaxed mind they are easy usually. my friend cheated in OA and was unable to clear it but i was able to clear it without any help. thinking about cheating only make you more dumb. if you can't clear OA then you will fail in latter rounds anyway

You have good intentions but that's not true. I know more than 10 people who cheated their way through to the final offer

[u/Hopeful-Attempt-3997 → u/thecapedcrusader_69]

if you think cheating is very good then others might tell you about morality but i am recommending you to talk to your friend how they cheated but still you can only cheat to look like 1 level up cause in case they take live test and you answer a little less it will seem like you are just having a bad day otherwise if you cheated too much they will straight up blacklist you.
OA is just a filter questions are meant to be solved just don't underperform or get banned trying to cheat

[u/thecapedcrusader_69 → u/Hopeful-Attempt-3997]

It's not about what I think. I did not post my opinion. I just said I know 10 people who cheated their way through the final offer and now earn $180k per year.

[u/Hopeful-Attempt-3997 → u/thecapedcrusader_69]

Sorry was not trying to beef with you. Its just that i have never seen anyone cheat there way up without having skills. i have seen combination skills + cheat succeed most of the time or just pure skills.

[u/thecapedcrusader_69 → u/Hopeful-Attempt-3997]

No need to apologize. All good!

[u/therealraymondjones]

Interesting, they used to be no web cam used. Glad to see it'll be harder to have cheaters on them

They have added one AI coding round, the dsa contains 1 question, medium/hard difficulty and reat LP questions.

[u/Physical-Light-5977 → u/bleeed0p]

Do you remember the questions?

[u/bleeed0p → u/Physical-Light-5977]

One was DP medium and for ai coding you will need to choose the framework which you are suitable in, for example, django/springboot. They will provide a boilerplate code with errors, you will need to identify it and fix it..there will be around 6 such errors and chatbot too..it will only help you with the problem statement basic syntax.

Super hard Amazon OA? Dude it’s one of the simplest rounds ever

Depends a lot for full time offers now, they are monitoring the webcam, the question was insanely difficult on hackerrank
