      Software Engineer Interview

      Dec 15, 2025
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      New York, NY
      No offer
      Positive experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (New York, NY) in Dec 2025

      Interview

      After a month, I also experienced the difficulty of Amazon's 2026 SDE OA (Online Assessment), and barely passed within 4 hours. Here's a brief chat... Those who are preparing for the OA can use this as a reference: ✅ It is mainly divided into 4 parts: ① 2 Coding questions: Need to complete within 70 minutes. It mainly examines whether you can write bug-free code on basic topics such as arrays, Hash, BFS, etc. The implementation questions have many details but simple logic. The core is readability, boundary handling, and code quality. Among them, what left a deeper impression is: Amazon developers use multiple algorithms to encrypt passwords. You need to find the minimum number of replacements required to turn a string into a palindrome, and return the lexicographically smallest result among all optimal solutions. ② Work Simulation: About 25 minutes. Based on example scenarios of Amazon work, interact with colleagues through emails and instant messages, make judgments and take actions. ③ Work Approach: A total of 21 questions (divided into 7 pages, 3 questions per page), estimated to be completed in 10 minutes. It examines how you handle software engineering work. ④ Work Style: About 57 questions, estimated to be completed in 10 minutes. Each question consists of two statements. Based on your own situation, choose Most Like Me or More Like Me. Just select the option that best fits your preference.

      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 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).
