Software Development Engineer Interview Experience - Seattle, Washington
Process
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks.
My interview process spanned about 26 days. I had an OA which included a LeetCode problem and an AI-assisted repo task. After that, I got an email about a week later for virtual interviews. There were 4 rounds of interviews, mostly just LeetCode-style problems and LPs and a little bit of OOP analysis. The process is challenging, so you should prepare as much as you can.

They primarily gave me graph problems. Do Amazon tagged and NC 150 to feel ready.

Amazon Work Experiences
- 4.0Great place to startSoftware Development Engineer • Current EmployeeSeattle, Washington, United StatesSeptember 11, 2018Pros: The first place I've worked at. Great team; seniors encourage learning and there's plenty of guidance. You're never kept idle because there's so much happening.Cons: Internal tools are a pain – they're really slow. Dev onboarding for freshers needs a lot of improvement. It takes ages to familiarize yourself with all internal tools, especially if this is your first job. Sometimes there's too much operational/testing workload on someone whose time is perhaps best used for development alone.
- 3.0Good Projects, Ops HellSoftware Development Engineer • Current EmployeeSeattle, Washington, United StatesJuly 4, 2021Pros: Some teams have good work-life balance and good projects.Cons: Some teams are ops hell.
- 4.0Amazon is really nice to internsSoftware Development Engineer • Former EmployeeSeattle, Washington, United StatesFebruary 28, 2014Pros: Amazon is very nice to interns, and summer in Seattle is very comfortable. Interns have the chance to complete a project independently.Cons: Projects designed for interns could be very different from each other in different groups. Some are very well designed, while others are not. A little bit unfair.
