I applied through college or university. I interviewed at Amazon (Dublin, Dublin) in Feb 2025
Interview
LeetCode hard + BFS + binary search is already a strong signal: you were dealing with a non-trivial problem (often grid / graph with monotonic condition → binary search on answer + BFS check).
Even if the interviewer was a bit rude, the fact that you:
solved the easier parts,
understood the pattern,
and didn’t collapse under pressure
…is a win.
Got passed directly on to final round interview.
It contained one technical question and a few behavioral questions. The former was a medium leetcode question, and the latter was basic stuff like how you handled challenges and your experience.
