Interviews at top companies can feel like a thrilling ride—full of surprises and challenges! Especially
when you're preparing for roles in automation testing, java, Selenium, Cucumber, and TestNG.

Recently, one of my mentees went through a (FAANG) Amazon interview process, and I’m sharing their
experience so you can prepare better!

These latest questions will test your fundamentals, problem-solving skills, and hands-on expertise.

👉 First Round (Technical Screening)

🔹 Problem-solving: Find the second smallest and second largest number in an array.

👉 Second Round(Deep Dive into Java & Automation)


🔹 OOPs concepts, Exception Handling, Polymorphism, Singleton class

🔹 Java Collections (ArrayList vs. LinkedList, Map, Set)

🔹 Selenium Core (XPath, scrolling, frames, screenshots, JavaScriptExecutor)

🔹 Cucumber (Scenario execution, rerunning failed tests, Cucumber Options)

🔹 Framework execution, synchronization, cross-browser testing


🔹 Explain the structure of a Selenium WebDriver script.

🔹 How do you handle dynamic web elements in automation scripts?

Third Round (Hands-on + Problem Solving)


🔹 Git conflict resolution

🔹 Coding task: Search an element in an array & return indices

🔹 How do you integrate your automation suite with CI/CD tools like Jenkins/GitLab?

🔹What are the challenges you’ve faced in automation and how did you overcome them?

Smart problem selection = Maximum impact

Don't solve problems randomly. Instead:

✅ Solve company-specific problems

✅ Start with most frequently asked questions

✅ Gradually transition to harder ones

👉 This targeted preparation builds confidence and increases your chances of clearing the interview.

Mock Interviews – The ultimate Reality Check

You can’t simulate real pressure by solving problems alone.

🔥 Take mock interviews with friends, peers, and professionals. If you don't find anyone, just explain the
problem to yourself before implementing.

🔥 Mock interviews reveal your weak spots, sharpen your problem-solving under time constraints, and
prepare you for real-world interview dynamics.

🤝 Consistency + Targeted Effort + Mocks is the only reciepe that works.


💬 These questions reflect the real challenges faced in interviews!
