J'ai postulé en ligne. Le processus a pris 6 semaines. J'ai passé un entretien chez Amazon (Graz) en juin 2021
Entretien
I applied through Amazon job portal and then I got an email from a recruiter. As per standard interview process,
1: Appeared for online coding test
2: Telephonic interview with an SDE 2 from Amazon Graz team
3: Interview day (4 interviews in a day)
Questions d'entretien [1]
Question 1
In online coding, I solved one question using dictionary (Leetcode easy) and other one was related to dynamic programming (Leetcode medium).
In telephonic interview, I solved Leetcode easy problem and in the follow up I used dynamic programming to solve it efficiently.
Interview day:
- My interview day started with a project manager and cpnding task was to convert Java code to python code. I requested him couple of times that I am not friendly with Java and I also conveyed a recruiter that I will use Python during my coding interviews (this must be negative feedback). I have never seen such kind of questions during my Leetcode or Geeks for geeks practice.
- In the second slot of interview day, an interviewer asked me lot of time and space complexity questions i.e. factorial, fibonacci, binary search etc. I had only 10 minutes to solve coding problem (Leetcode medium: count distinct sub trees with sum K).
- During the system design interview, I had to design restaurant management system. This went well.
- In the last, I solved (Leetcode medium: jump problem) and in the follow up question I had to trace jump indexes. This went well too.
From my point of view, FAANG interviews always focus on data structures and algorithms skills not like convert one language code to other language. At the end, I got disappointment.
Note: Amazon also focuses more on Leadership principles.
J'ai postulé via une agence de recrutement. J'ai passé un entretien chez Amazon (Seattle, WA) en mai 2026
Entretien
There were a total of 2 rounds:
The first round was with an SDE II on Data Structures/Algo - Leet code questions mainly
The second rounds was with an SDM Behavioral/System Design - Leadership principles and past work experience impact.
J'ai postulé via un recruteur. J'ai passé un entretien chez Amazon en févr. 2026
Entretien
Recruiter explicitly mentioned that the Technical Phone Screen interview did not contain any Behavioral question but the interviewer definitely asked 3 behavioral questions.
The coding problem was utterly garbage, it was a pretty trivial problem that anyone that knows DFS would be able to solve. That is not appropriate for a SDE 2 role. Not even useful to demonstrate candidate skills
PS: They care a lot more about what you've accomplished than whatever you can accomplish based on your skills
Questions d'entretien [1]
Question 1
1. Tell me about a time when you had to meet a tight deadline
2. Tell me about a time when you had to do more than what you were required to do
3. Tell me about a time where you made a significant impact on a customer
J'ai postulé via un recruteur. Le processus a pris 3 mois. J'ai passé un entretien chez Amazon (Bengaluru) en sept. 2025
Entretien
5 rounds of interviews
1. OA (2 Medium Hard Questions along with some Work Related Assessment which tested design related concepts)
2. HLD
3. DSA
4. LLD
5. Bar Raiser
Technically, the questions were of medium difficulty and with good polish, you should be able to solve these questions. The main challenge in Amazon is of the Leadership Principles which involve citing real work experience in the STAR format.
