Software Development Engineer (SDE) Interview Experience
Process
The interview process began with an online assessment.
This assessment consisted of:
- Multiple coding questions focused on data structures and algorithms, emphasizing problem-solving efficiency.
- A work simulation that tested behavioral responses to various workplace scenarios.
Following the assessment, I received a rejection email within a few days. The process was straightforward but competitive.
Questions
Work simulations in Amazon's online assessment can be confusing because it's not always clear what the "correct" response is.
