Process
First step was a home test in LeetCode style. Received an answer after 2 weeks.
Second was in "Zoo", 30 minutes. Also LeetCode style, but with a data array. Received a decline after 1 day.
Questions
The first interview was easy. It was mid-level. I remember a question about linked lists and creating a function.
The second interview was also easy and mid-level. There was one question where I received an array of data containing pages, users, and other information. I was supposed to return the three most visited sites.

Amazon Work Experiences
- 5.0Hope For A Good TeamSoftware Engineer • Current EmployeeSeattle, Washington, United StatesFebruary 28, 2025Pros: Hope you get into a good team.Cons: Few team leaders. Leadership is not great.
- 5.0Great Culture, Salary AverageSoftware Engineer • Current EmployeeMidtown New York, New York, United StatesJanuary 24, 2023Pros: Work culture for beginners and a healthy life balance.Cons: The average salary, but recommended.
- 2.0Innovative But Sinking TalentSoftware Engineer • Former EmployeeSeattle, Washington, United StatesMay 1, 2018Pros: Focusing on the customer brings out the best innovation. Fast-paced for the size of the company, with fewer processes to bother about. New ideas and experiments.Cons: As the company grew, the talent level started dwindling. The average talent is abysmally low for its reputation. In a rush to hire, lots of ICs were promoted to middle management without any gauging of their management skills. Lots of managers were hired who are not accustomed to the 14 leadership principles of the company, which are the pillars of Amazon's success. There is no attempt to run an orientation for these managers to align themselves with the leadership principles. Candid feedback results in backlash instead of verifying the feedback.
