Software Developer Interview Experience - Seattle, Washington
Process
First, I had an online assessment: coding questions under time pressure.
Then, a recruiter call explained the next steps.
After that, four intense virtual interviews occurred back-to-back:
- Coding
- System design
- Behavioral (Amazon Leadership Principles)
It felt challenging but fair, and very structured throughout.
Questions
One question I clearly remember was: “Tell me about a time you disagreed with a teammate — how did you handle it?” They really cared about how I stayed calm, listened, and worked toward a solution, not just about who was right.
