Other Software Engineer(Internship) Interview Reviews for Amazon
Two rounds, one technical and structured Second was a lot more just talking. It was fine overall, asked questions you would expect from an interview. Didn't end up passing, it is what it is
Was part of the women programme spring insight. Started off with an initial cv screen, then moved onto a hackerrank oa, and then we moved onto an in person workshop with an interview at the end
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
They asked to discuss how I dealt with learning new things
Round 1: OA (Leetcode + behavioral)
Round 2: 1hr Zoom (Leetcode + behavioral)
The interviewer looked very disinterested and bored, like he did not want to be there at all.
