Amazon Coding Interview Prep: What They Actually Test in 2026
A practical guide to the Amazon coding interview in 2026: the full loop structure (online assessment, phone screen, onsite with Bar Raiser), the DSA topics that actually appear most (hash maps, trees, graphs/BFS, heaps and top-K problems), and why Leadership Principles carry as much weight as code. Includes a worked top-K Python solution, a STAR-format story bank template for LP questions, the traps that sink otherwise-strong candidates, and how to map the whole syllabus onto a 60-day preparation plan.
