      Software Development Engineer (SDE) Interview

      2 May 2024
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Dublin, Dublin
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Dublin, Dublin) in Apr 2024

      Interview

      The least personal experience I've ever had - I didn't get to hear or speak to an actual human recruiter at any point throughout the process. After submitting my resume I received an online hackerrank assessment which had 2 parts and was about a leetcode easy-medium. There were 2 more depressing parts which felt dystopic - in the first you have a simulated email inbox where youre receiving communication regarding a project and you rank what you would and wouldnt do in every instance, and in the second you're asked very strange questions and need to rank what you think about them. Overall an extremely uncomfortable and cold experience. After passing the assessment you get to schedule a face to face interview with a Sr engineer(and often times a shadow), The interviewer clearly has to read questions off of a screen and then write down your responses. After that you have a coding exercise, which in my case . After doing well there and getting good feedback I received an automated email saying I will not be progressing and providing no feedback whatsoever. I went into this without wanting to actually work for Amazon and just as a way to see how their recruitment works and I was somehow even furthermore disappointed. Overall just a very robotic, cold and distant experience.

      Application

      I interviewed at Amazon (Bengaluru)

      Interview

      I received an Online Assessment (OA) invitation from Amazon. The assessment consisted of two coding questions of medium to hard difficulty, focusing on data structures, algorithms, and problem-solving skills. The questions required efficient solutions with optimized time and space complexity. After the OA, shortlisted candidates typically proceed to one or more technical interview rounds covering coding, system design, and behavioral questions based on Amazon's Leadership Principles.
