Software Engineer Interview Experience - New York, New York

June 1, 2025
Positive ExperienceNo Offer

Process

OA done, possibly rejected. Referred by a company employee.

90-minute OA with two coding questions. I finished the first in 30 minutes but did not finish the second one. Amazon's OA is not the most difficult, but it is very verbose.

The description of the question is very long, and you cannot use just one standard algorithm to solve it. I probably needed nearly 100 lines of code to solve the second one using binary search with a proper search function design involving efficient checking of the minimum substring shared GCD > 1. It was really verbose and required a lot of effort.

Questions

Q1. Two employees handling a warehouse question. If the last shift was done by you, score +1. This is a very classic Amazon OA.
