Software Development Engineer (SDE) Interview Experience - Seattle, Washington

February 20, 2026
Neutral ExperienceNo Offer

Process

I applied online. The process took 2 weeks.

Three rounds back-to-back (3-4 hours):

  • First is BQ round
  • Next two are coding rounds

They prefer BFS or DFS style coding, and heap. Medium to hard level. No original questions on LeetCode; the questions are a little bit long.

Questions

Tell me about a challenge. Tell me a trade-off decision. Very typical BQ on Amazon interviews.
