Software Development Engineer (SDE1) Interview Experience - India
Process
The first round was screening, and my resume was shortlisted. I then received a call for an Online Assessment (OA) from Amazon.
In the OA, there were two medium-level LeetCode coding problems, followed by the Amazon Leadership Principle test.
My test went very well; I solved both coding problems with all test cases passed. However, after two days, I received an email stating I was not shortlisted for the next steps. I don't know why, as no reason was given.
