      Software Development Engineer Interview

      18 Aug 2022
      Anonymous employee
      London, England
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Amazon (London, England) in July 2022

      Interview

      I applied online and heard back from a recruiter within a few days with an invitation to complete the online code assessment, with a guide and some helpful tips. Once I had passed this, I had a video interview on the Leadership Principles and a coding question. I heard back a few days later, and proceeded to the next and (supposedly) final round. The loop was pretty much the same as the first call - in total I had 4 interviews across the day, with Leadership Principles in all of them and different coding subjects tested in each one. However, in the one judging my OOP awareness, I was asked to code a game I had never played before, which was a bit impossible! I received a call from the recruiter apologising, and had a 'redo' video interview on that one subject a few days later. The recruiter was absolutely amazing throughout, and even though the entire process took ~2 months, she made sure I was kept updated regularly. When I had passed the online coding interview, I was put into the system as having applied for another job (with the same interview process), so the recruiter made sure to get me interviews with people in the same team I was applying for, and my extra interview was with someone who had moved from Alexa so I could get different perspectives. The entire process was really interesting, you will definitely will need to revise for the coding rounds / technical questions! The joining offer was very generous and far above my asking salary, which was really nice to feel so valued and welcomed into the company. On top of that you receive a sign on bonus for the first year (a lump sum) and for the second year (spread across 12 months), and shares in Amazon! I have already been asked to go for lunch with my team before I join, and my new manager (who was one of my interviewers) checks in regularly with me. On top of that, in between my previous position and my new job at Amazon, I was allowed to choose my starting date, so I now have a month off in between!

      Average interview

      Application

      I interviewed at Amazon

      Interview

      The whole process stretched over nearly a month, longer than I anticipated. After an initial phone screen, I faced a technical round that included a Min Stack implementation question. We discussed design considerations and thread safety, which threw me for a bit. Fortunately, I remembered a specific mock interview I practiced on PracHub that mirrored this scenario closely, making me feel more at ease. Ultimately, I received an offer, but I chose to decline due to the company culture not feeling like the right fit.
