I interviewed for a Software Engineer position at Amazon and the process was well-structured and thorough. The overall experience followed Amazon’s Leadership Principles closely and focused heavily on problem-solving, coding, and behavioral questions.
The process started with an online assessment that included data structures and algorithms questions along with a short work-style/behavioral section. After passing the assessment, I was invited to a virtual onsite (loop) consisting of multiple back-to-back interviews.
Interviewed for silicon team. Have only been asked about the domain specific knowledge in 1st round and system design in 2nd round and C coding in 3rd round.
The interviews were 50 mins each.
First round with hr screening - 2 leetcode questions then hr manager screening then the loop which consists of 4 interviews each an hour long. The 4 interview questions they asked where three medium leetcode questions. And one system design interview question about how to shadow deploy a test software to millions of users.
Recruiter reaches out after applying through Amazon careers, no referral. Had an initial OA, then after a month had four rounds in two days - three coding one system design. Each round had 30 min behavioral and 30 min coding.
