Cutthroat culture
Cutthroat culture
- Good benefits
- Good salary
- Relatively good stock options
- Cool tech
The work culture is horrible. You are not allowed to ask questions, and you are rated and compared against your peers in the same org. Product development moves really slowly because so many teams and people are involved. As a software engineer, I spent most of my time writing one-liners or reading docs.

Amazon Interview Questions
Amazon Interview Experiences
Software Engineer
They started off asking really basic questions. There were 3 rounds of interviews, and it seemed pretty chill. But then, throughout to the latest interviews, they started getting more difficult and hard-hitting.
Software Engineer
Rigorous, quite difficult, super engaging. Difficult but over-compromising. Extremely hard but rather forgiving. Forgiving, forgiving, but it's Amazon, so you know it's an interview. Worked out of New York. It was rigorous, super hard, super hard.
Software Engineer
Online assessment with coding questions and an Amazon Workstyle Assessment. In the Workstyle Assessment, you have to answer emails as if you are an Amazon employee for a day. There are also two LeetCode Medium coding questions.
