      System Development Engineer Interview

      May 21, 2026
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      London, England
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon

      Interview

      Multi-stage interview process: online coding assessment followed a week later by a phone screen with the hiring manager, both of these interview stages consisting only of technical questions. After I had passed these stages, my recruiter scheduled my onsite interview loop only two days later (something I was extremely grateful for). The onsite interview loop consisted of five one-hour interviews. I was asked a mix of behavioral (STAR) and technical (including debugging and work simulation) questions. One of the interviews was a system design exercise, while another one of the interviews comprised only behavioral questions. Recruiter called me with a verbal offer just over one week after my interview loop. The entire recruiting team was very communicative and went out of their way to accommodate my schedule.
