Positive ExperienceNo Offer

Process

I applied online.

Typical SDE new grad process: coding + three rounds. Included a mix of behavioural, projects, low-level system design, and coding questions. Half the questions were around the principles provided by Amazon, and I had to prepare answers according to them.
