Amazon is super large. Working cultures are very dependent on the specified team. But in general, the infrastructure is pretty good.
Across-team communication and support is hard, especially when WFH.
Amazon should provide a standard team management process for each team as a baseline. The power of a manager varies a lot in different teams. Most of the managers are nice, but some of them are unreasonably pushing, and engineers almost can do nothing.
Data Structures & Algorithms Medium/Hard LeetCode style. Time complexity discussion. Edge cases & testing. System Design (simplified for SDE I) Not large-scale architecture. Examples: design a URL shortener, elevator system, or parking lot. Mo
It was a 3-hour interview: two LeetCode, one system design, and one behavioral. One round was with a Bar Raiser. The process is pretty simple. Basic 150 Blind is good enough to pass the interview.
Once you’re scheduled, you get one day for a three-round loop: * The first is a low-level design and behavioral round. * The second has two DSA questions. * The third is a one-hour behavioral interview. It’s about four hours total in one day.
