Process

Interviewed for an SDE-2 role at Amazon last month. Didn’t make it, but the prep was incredibly rewarding.

Process:

OA: coding, system design simulation, workstyle & LP-based assessments

4 rounds:

  • DSA + LPs
  • Logic & Maintainable Code + LPs
  • Problem Solving + LPs
  • System Design + LPs

Came out sharper, with a deeper respect for Amazon’s high bar.

Questions

I was asked a question to design an LRU cache.
