Amazon Mock Interview
Practice real amazon DSA coding problems with an AI interviewer
The Amazon Interview Process
Amazon's interview process uniquely combines technical coding with behavioral assessment through Leadership Principles. It starts with a phone screen where you solve 1-2 coding problems in 45 minutes while demonstrating LP alignment. The onsite includes 2 coding rounds, 1 system design round, and 1 dedicated behavioral round focused entirely on Leadership Principles.
Unlike other FAANG companies, Amazon evaluates every round through both a technical and LP lens. Your coding approach should demonstrate Ownership (handling edge cases proactively), Customer Obsession (thinking about the end user), and Dive Deep (explaining your reasoning thoroughly). System design rounds focus on scalable, fault-tolerant architectures, such as payment systems, recommendation engines, and logistics optimization.
The difficulty level at Amazon is medium. Coding problems are typically LeetCode medium, but the LP integration adds complexity. You need STAR-formatted stories ready for principles like Customer Obsession, Ownership, Invent and Simplify, Learn and Be Curious, and Bias for Action. Each story should demonstrate measurable impact.
What You'll Practice
DSA Problems
Arrays, strings, trees, graphs, and DP, Amazon's core technical interview topics. Practice at real difficulty levels.
Communication
Amazon requires STAR-format behavioral responses. Practice explaining your approach clearly and linking technical decisions to LPs.
Time Management
45-60 minutes per round. Practice solving problems efficiently while integrating LP-based reasoning into your technical answers.
Edge Cases
Amazon tests boundary conditions and input validation rigorously. Practice handling edge cases that mirror real-world scenarios.

03
Get Your Hiring Signal
Receive a pass/fail signal and 12-dimension feedback covering DSA, communication, optimization, and LP alignment.
Why Amazon Interviews Are Different
Leadership Principles Are Non-Negotiable
Amazon is the only FAANG company that explicitly evaluates every interview round against 16 Leadership Principles. Your technical skills alone won't get you hired. You need STAR stories demonstrating LPs in every answer.
Bar Raiser Round
Amazon uses a “Bar Raiser”, a trained interviewer from another team who ensures every hire raises the overall talent bar. This round is often the most challenging and can override other interviewers' feedback.
LP + Technical Integration
Even in coding rounds, Amazon interviewers note whether you demonstrate LPs like Ownership (testing edge cases), Dive Deep (explaining trade-offs), and Invent and Simplify (finding elegant solutions).

Frequently Asked Questions
What questions does Amazon ask?
Amazon asks a mix of DSA coding problems and Leadership Principles behavioral questions. Coding covers arrays, strings, trees, graphs, and dynamic programming. Behavioral questions are mapped to Amazon's 16 Leadership Principles like Customer Obsession, Ownership, and Bias for Action. Every round tests both technical and LP skills.
How long is the Amazon interview?
Amazon coding interviews last 45-60 minutes. The phone screen is 45 minutes with 1-2 coding problems. Onsite includes 2 coding rounds, 1 system design round, and 1 behavioral round focused on Leadership Principles. Total onsite time is about 4-5 hours with a mix of technical and behavioral assessments.
What level should I prepare for at Amazon?
Amazon hires at L4 (new grad/mid), L5 (senior), and L6 (principal). L4 focuses on DSA and basic LP stories. L5 adds system design and deeper LP examples showing technical leadership. L6 requires system architecture expertise, bar-raiser-level behavioral responses, and organizational impact. Difficulty scales from medium (L4) to hard (L6).
How many LeetCode problems for Amazon?
For Amazon, aim for 150-200 LeetCode problems focusing on medium difficulty. Prioritize: arrays/strings (30), trees (20), graphs (20), dynamic programming (20), and system design (15). Amazon-tagged problems on LeetCode are essential. Solve at least 50 of them. Also prepare 8-10 LP stories covering all major principles.
