Amazon DSP Software Engineer interview: debugging pressure during DSA and an AI-assisted repository task

This was a four-round process, but I did not pass the first round. It paired a classic DSA problem with an AI-assisted coding task in a repo-style setup. I could write a DSA solution, then got caught on edge cases without enough time to debug it properly.

The repo task also felt like a race against the clock. I tried to adapt, but timing pressure and the need to be precise worked against me. I did not move forward. What I remember most is how quickly gaps in edge cases and validation became decisive in a compressed first-round format.

Location: Chennai. Overall feedback: neutral. Offer status: no offer.
