Overall, the Amazon interview process for a Software Development Engineer was an intense but extremely structured experience. It was a true test of both my technical foundation and my ability to think like an Amazonian.
The entire process, from the initial application to the final decision, took about six weeks, which felt fast considering the size of the company
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
You have an excellent solution that would take three months to build perfectly, and a good-enough solution that could be live in three weeks. How do you choose?
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.
