Software Development Engineer (SDE) Interview Experience - Seattle, Washington
Process
It started in January and ended around May, so it was a pretty long process.
It had a recruiter screen, an online assessment, and a loop.
Interviewers were friendly and helpful throughout the loop. For LeetCode questions, I prepared using Amazon-tagged questions. For behavioral questions, they asked follow-up questions, but they were not probing, mostly curious.
