      Software Development Engineer Interview

      Jan 21, 2017
      Anonymous employee
      Seattle, WA
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA)

      Interview

      I applied online at Amazon.com around October 2016. I received the first coding assessment in late December. After passing the debug section with 7/7 and doing pretty well on the logic questions, I received the second assessment the following day. The second assessment consisted of two coding questions. Think LeetCode Easy. After getting 18/18 for test cases on the first problem and 14/18 for test cases on the second, a recruiter reached out to me wanting to set up a 45 minute phone interview. I've heard if you do well enough on the second assessment you can receive an offer right away without needing a phone interview. The phone interview was your pretty typical technical screen. I was asked to complete two coding problems and explain the time complexity for each of my algorithms. The interviewer then modified the problems a bit and I had to adjust accordingly. These problems I would also consider to be LeetCode Easy/Medium. I thought I didn't do well enough on the phone interview, but nevertheless received an offer in my email a few days later.

      Interview

      Empresa extremamente clara sobre o que é pedido na entrevista e isso me mostra a seriedade. Minha experiencia foi positiva e tente se atentar a resolver o problema e não somente decorar padrões do leetcode.

      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Amazon (Calgary, AB) in Jun 2026

      Interview

      Online Assessment is the first step in the process. I didn’t have an HR phone screening and went straight to the OA after applying. It was sent to me about a week after I submitted my application.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      The first question is LeetCode style algorithms question, and the second question gives a full stack repo (choice of Java, NodeJS, or Django) and asks to solve a backend issue which is causing a bug in the frontend. Unit tests must pass to pass the second question. You can run both backend/frontend indivdually or together
