Software Development Engineer (SDE) II Interview Experience

Process

I was contacted by a recruiter and asked to interview for Amazon, as they were hiring for several locations. The recruiter explained that the interview process would involve a minimum of four rounds, excluding the initial phone interview and online assessment.

After completing the phone screening and passing the online assessment, I was scheduled for my next round of interviews, which were four weeks away.

I studied all of the material and subjects that were provided, as well as my own supplemental material (GeeksforGeeks, YouTube, etc.).

Approximately a week before the final interviews, I received an email informing me that they had cancelled and would reach out to reschedule.

I reached out after two weeks of not hearing any updates, and they basically ghosted me.

This was a frustrating experience, especially after being told that I had aced the online assessment and after preparing for weeks to ace my interviews and secure a job offer.

Before this, the recruiter and HR manager sent me two to three emails daily, encouraging me to attend study sessions and ensuring I was studying the right material to perform well in the interviews.

After they cancelled, I never heard from them again.
