Process

I applied for the Amazon SDE New Grad role on May 1st.

I received the online assessment on June 24th and completed my final loop interviews on July 21st.

The loop consisted of three rounds:

  • The first was a coding round with two easy LeetCode-style problems.
  • The second was a Bar Raiser round focused on behavioral questions based on Amazon’s Leadership Principles.
  • The third combined behavioral questions with a 30-minute medium-to-hard level coding challenge.

The overall experience was structured and professional, with interviewers who were supportive and attentive.
