Software Development Engineer (SDE) II Interview Experience - Egypt
Process
I was approached about the position on LinkedIn.
I had two interviews.
The first one was a three-hour coding test, Amazon principles, high-level design, and behavioral questions. The coding test consisted of two questions:
- The first had 70 tests.
- The second had 55 tests.
Both were LeetCode/HackerRank style.
The second interview was a one-hour phone interview with an SDE III senior. It included 30 minutes of behavioral questions and 30 minutes of coding and design questions.
Overall, it was a good experience.
