SDE 1 Interview Experience

July 21, 2026
Neutral ExperienceNo Offer

Process

I applied online. The process took 1 week.

Online assessment - 2 parts:

  • 1 coding question - 45 minutes
  • 1 repository question where you have to fix a bug in the project - 1 hour.

The coding question was very long and tries to replicate a real life scenario that happens while working for Amazon; the amount of details is kind of what makes it difficult.

Questions

Solve the coding problem in the required time and submit it.

Find the bugs and fix them in the projects.
