      Software Development Engineer Interview

      Feb 26, 2017
      Anonymous employee
      Seattle, WA
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Feb 2017

      Interview

      The interview process for Interns seems to be the same all around (based on other reviews on Glassdoor, and from friends). The initial interview is online, technical, and mainly focuses on debugging and logic questions. The second interview is also online and technical, but focuses more on being able to show that you have good database, algorithm, and OOP background. The final interview is over the phone with (for me atleast) a Software Manager at Amazon. I won't specify the question he asked me, but it required knowledge of OOP, database, algorithms, and general problem solving. Here's a tip: I got nervous during my phone interview and failed to use the proper data structure needed, but because I asked alot of good questions and communicated with my interviewer throughout, I managed to get an offer from Amazon regardless. Communications matters. Amazon was very quick with the entire process. I got an email for my first online interview, scheduled a time, took the exam, and got a response within 2 days. This was the case with all 3 of my interviews.

      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
