Amazon Software Development Engineer I (SDE I) interview questions

I was reached out to by a recruiter but unfortunately did not hear back afterwards. There was very little visibility into the tech stack during our initial call, and I never actually saw a formal job description throughout the entire process.

The Two Online Assessments (OA1 & OA2) OA1 - Debugging/Logic: This part typically involves 5–7 debugging questions and logical reasoning/math questions. You are given code with errors and must fix them within a time limit. OA2 - Coding & Simulation: This is usually 90 minutes and consists of two Medium-level coding problems (often LeetCode-style). Work Style Assessment (Part of OA): A 15–20 minute personality test, often referred to as the 30–40 MCQ part, which evaluates your fit with Amazon's 16 Leadership Principles. Graduates First Graduates First +3 2. The One Interview (Technical Round) The "one interview" mentioned is likely the first technical video interview (often via Amazon Chime). Format: Typically 45–60 minutes, focusing on Data Structures & Algorithms (DSA), specifically trees, graphs, or linked lists. Focus: The interviewer focuses on your thought process, ability to optimize, and communication skills, not just the final working code.
