      Software Development Engineer Intern Interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Amazon

      Interview

      Applied online, received an email a month later to schedule interviews. I don't go to a big name school, so they do consider more than just the top schools. Back to back 1 hour interviews. The actual questions aren't difficult and should be simple if you've done data structures and algorithms. The difficulty comes from talking out loud so that they know what you're doing and the interviewer interrupting your train of thought to ask time complexity questions. Practice programming on paper while someone is asking you questions. Read programming interviews exposed and know how to solve the problems (vs just memorizing the answer). The answer didn't seem as important as the process. Make sure that you have a good headset, your phone has connectivity where you like to sit and don't worry too much about difficulty.

      Question 1

      As far as I could tell, all questions were out of programming interviews exposed. I suspect that they give the book to the interviewer and tell them to use those questions. However, don't just memorize the right answer. If you very quickly come upon the best solution, they'll have you come up with 1-2 more.

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Amazon (Vancouver, BC)

      Interview

      One online assessment and one virtual interview included a coding round and leadership principle questions; overall, the process was fairly straightforward and not overly challenging for me throughout the experience.
