Overall, the Amazon interview process for a Software Development Engineer was an intense but extremely structured experience. It was a true test of both my technical foundation and my ability to think like an Amazonian.
The entire process, from the initial application to the final decision, took about six weeks, which felt fast considering the size of the company
