Software Engineer Interview Experience

August 19, 2022
Negative ExperienceNo Offer

Process

Five hours of interviewing was excessive and unnecessary for a first-round interview.

The interviewers were unable to answer most of my questions and could not give me a clear description of the job I was applying for.

Overall, it was a poor experience, and I would not recommend applying if you value your time.

Questions

A mix of poorly explained coding questions, and the interviewers were too worried about sticking to Amazon's question/answer formula.
