Software Development Engineer (SDE) Interview Experience
Process
I applied through college or university. The process took 3 weeks.
I got an email from the university recruitment team with the assessment link. The assessment was a little hard with LeetCode medium to hard questions. After clearing the assessment, I got a link to schedule 3 loop interviews on a single day. One round was completely Amazon LPs, and the other two rounds were a mix of behavioral and LeetCode questions. Questions were medium to hard LeetCode.
Questions
LeetCode questions were like anagrams, Heap, and permutations in String.

- 4.0Leadership principles are almost cultishSoftware Development Engineer (SDE) • Former EmployeeNew York, New York, United StatesAugust 5, 2022Pros: You get to have impact. Since decisions are bottom-up (Ownership LP), you get to decide how you approach a problem. Not many low performers. I didn't meet anyone who seemed like they didn't know what they were doing, so you're surrounded by a bunch of knowledgeable people. Flexible WFH (this varies by team/org). I had the option to go into the office or WFH for the entire duration of the internship.Cons: Deadlines always looming. I found myself dreaming about how to solve a problem, as I would feel stressed about delivering. Build tools have a lot of room for improvement. A lot of development time was spent getting projects running.
