Candidate-reported interview process

Applied through the job portal and had a 1-hour phone call interview focused on signal/audio processing. It covered basic DSP concepts like upsampling and downsampling, as well as coding questions related to complexity analysis.

There were 2 technical phone interviews for the internship, each an hour long. They covered basic data structures and algorithms, and general resume points like your projects and internships. One interviewer was from the team and asked more specific questions about that team.

It was one phone screen and then 2 technical rounds. They asked simple algorithms questions and also about my past experience. The coding questions were done on the Amazon interview portal and mostly focused on arrays and trees.
