      Software Development Engineer Interview

      Jun 18, 2022
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      No offer
      Neutral experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon in Jun 2022

      Interview

      Stage 1. Call with Recruiter (one of the best, and probably the only good part in the whole process) Stage 2. Technical OA, medium/easy LC Qs on linked list and string array manipulation Stage 3. Virtual onsite (4 rounds) -- 1 interviewer who is not in the interviewing team. (Amazon LP and one easy sorting hits Q) -- System Design on Messenger (interviewer checked out after screen share did not work in Amazon chime. I used a notepad and pen. Later found out that browser needs to allow screen recording , which was not allowed by default in my new system). -- Behavioral round with manager on Amazon LP Qs and one long Q with a simple solution on OOP. The interviewer just copy pasted it and told me to read it and solve when only 15mins was left. -- one medium LC question (I used backtracking, interviewer was not impressed because I did not use Trie) 2/4 interviewers were one of the worst that I have ever been to because one was disrespectful, said "nice story" to my project experience which I was passionate about and had put a lot of hard work on. The other one had terrible audibility because of an accent like a bullet train and low mic quality, I had to ask several times to repeat, also dismissive behavior about all the working solutions I provided (DFS, BFS, backtracking). Giving this a neutral experience still because it seems to be a team specific behavior, and I think I could have still done better. Use the interview window to make sure you don't land in a toxic team.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Average interview

      Application

      I interviewed at Amazon

      Interview

      The whole process stretched over nearly a month, longer than I anticipated. After an initial phone screen, I faced a technical round that included a Min Stack implementation question. We discussed design considerations and thread safety, which threw me for a bit. Fortunately, I remembered a specific mock interview I practiced on PracHub that mirrored this scenario closely, making me feel more at ease. Ultimately, I received an offer, but I chose to decline due to the company culture not feeling like the right fit.
