      No offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon in Apr 2024

      Interview

      The Interview lasted overall 60 minutest. The interview was essentially divided into four parts. The first five minutes the interviewer introduced himself and gave a brief overview about what he and his team is working on. The following 15-20 minutes were used for asking behavioral questions based on amazon leadership principles. Afterwards he asked technical questions about how a compiler works under the hood. The last 20 minutes I had to solve a coding question.
