I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA)
Interview
High stress, 45 min interviews, 5 in a row, no breaks, little easy talk to decompress between rounds. For a first loop in years, this was stressful. Questions were not really all that hard, just the rate at which they were coming. I dislike the fact that interviewers were taking notes and images of the white board of algorithms on the board. Also, I don't like that some of the questions seemed like real work problems they could be dealing with.
Great interview process with three rounds, including a technical assessment and a technical interview. The interviewers were professional and supportive throughout the process. The questions mainly focused on DSA, problem-solving, and core technical concepts. The discussions were engaging and provided a good opportunity to demonstrate technical skills. Overall, the process was well-structured, smooth, transparent, and a very positive experience.
I applied online. I interviewed at Amazon (Sydney)
Interview
I can't comment much. I submitted an application for the software engineer position, and not even a minute later, I received an auto rejection email from Amazon (never received an online assessment).
2 behavioral 2 coding not very difficult. Behavioral is tell me about a time you took responsibility beyond your role and biggest accomplishment. The process is exactly the guideline they posted for interview.
