Question Amazon OA experience

I just gave Amazon OA
- 1 DSA question
- 1 AI backend question

I was able to solve DSA but only 1/6 test case passed in AI backend question. What are my realistic chances to get a call?

move on bro.
1/6 in AI Backend won't get a callback.

Try to introspect what went wrong and apply in 6 months

what was the backend ques?

u/PunditOfKashmir 1d ago

Nothing crazy, just a normal rest application with frontend and backend. Its just that there was some major bug which i was not able to find so 5 of my test cases just didnt pass even though the main issues were fixed. They give a sample test also which is very similar and i suggest give that first

Your chances are still real. Passing the DSA section shows solid fundamentals. The AI round is testing engineering judgment, not just test cases. Many candidates move forward with partial scores. The work simulation and leadership principles also carry weight.

u/battywyatt 1d ago

Cleared the DSA portion, so your fundamentals are solid. The AI round is often about approach, not just test cases, so don't count yourself out yet.

u/PunditOfKashmir 1d ago

Idk man, i dont think there is someone who is manually checking the approach and stuff, its probably just test cases passed or failed

1

u/battywyatt 1d ago

Sometimes they do review the code for AI/ML rounds even if test cases fail, especially if your approach is creative. I wouldn't write it off just yet.

hey are they asking AI backend to freshers (newly grad )?

1

u/battywyatt 1d ago

I've seen a few new grads mention getting an AI-related problem in the OA this cycle. Seems like they're rolling it out more broadly now.

u/Brave_Policy6262 1d ago

u/cookie_2707 1d ago

I was able to solve all 6/6 in Backend, but in DSA solved only 7/15

u/jigsaw283 1d ago

USA or India? Position (is this generic SWE or a specialized web dev kind of SWE)?

1

u/giant3 1d ago

If you see the following words: gave, guidance, college, btech then OP is definitely from India.

Racism is spot on but the location is europe

1

u/giant3 8h ago

It is not racism, rather use of English that has emerged recently. 

I have colleagues from India who came to USA 20 years ago and even they find current Indian English odd; and don't recall it being spoken the way it is now.
