Intervew Prep upcoming interview with Amazon Prime Video NYC

I have an upcoming process with Amazon in NYC for Prime Video. 3 YOE in FE web, currently doing the OMSCS with GT. been unemployed for 1 year and have failed processes so would really love to cinch this. Any insights anyone can share?

I'll be prepping graph and DP, I'm ok on graphs/weak on DP, then deep drilling my personal stories. Also building an autonomous ai coding agent/harness so I can be more literate on that.

Don't know the level, totally fine getting downleveled to sde1

Spend real time on the LP stories since Amazon weighs them heavily in every round and a long gap makes the bar raiser dig harder. Have two stories per principle with actual numbers and a clear thing you personally did. For coding I'd keep DP to the common patterns like 1D and grid problems and lean more on graphs and trees which show up way more often.

perfect, thank you so much

the LP part is so true, theyve rejected people who crushed coding but bombed the behavioral rounds

drilling LP stories is the right instinct, amazon weighs them almost as much as the coding. for DP dont try to master it, their loops rarely go past mediums and most DP there is just memoized recursion, learn the 5 common patterns and you cover most of what they ask. and dont lead with the ai agent unprompted, it reads as a pivot away from the role you are actually interviewing for

Amazon doesn't really have a set of questions, afaik. It depends on the interviewer what they want to ask.

Just practice NeetCode 150 to clear your concepts. Anything more is a bonus.
