Software Developer Interview Experience - Seattle, Washington
Process
Three rounds of interviews, back-to-back, went straight into LeetCode-style questions. Two hard and one medium. There were no hints or small talk.
I think the bar is always changing. If there are more hiring committee reviews, interviews tend to be easier.
Questions
Same structure: three-round interviews.
Two behavioral questions about Amazon LP.
One LeetCode question with a follow-up. There were probably two questions, but I wasn't good enough to solve a LeetCode hard within 25 minutes, so I guess I didn't have the chance to see another question.
