I interviewed for a Software Engineer position at Amazon and the process was well-structured and thorough. The overall experience followed Amazon’s Leadership Principles closely and focused heavily on problem-solving, coding, and behavioral questions.
The process started with an online assessment that included data structures and algorithms questions along with a short work-style/behavioral section. After passing the assessment, I was invited to a virtual onsite (loop) consisting of multiple back-to-back interviews.
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.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
tell me about a time you took responsibility beyond your role
It was a 2-3 round process, depending on how your interview went, with increasingly hard DSA questions followed by some HR and behavioural questions. First round was mostly easy and medium leetcode, followed by medium and hard questions in the second round and above on more complex topics.
