A Lack of Competence
A Lack of Competence
Free bananas at the Seattle office
I interned at the Seattle office.
There is a large amount of tech debt and incompetence among engineers working at Amazon, especially those in positions to make decisions.
There's nothing really positive for me to say about the experience.
There is also a culture of overtime that seems to persist across teams.

Software Internship
Applied, waited a while, got OA, two-question LC med, final round behavioral + LC easy. Waitlisted then got off the waitlist. Pretty chill process, maybe somewhat RNG with interviewer. Chill process overall.
Software Engineer
It was easy and to the point. The interviewer was sweet and allowed me enough time to think about how to approach solving the problems. The coding question asked was for an inventory and managing it. It was an easy solve with the right data structure
Software Engineer
The interview process was quick, consisting of three panels: technical, behavioral, and system design aspects. The interviewers were friendly, approachable, and helpful. Overall, it was a very positive and smooth experience.
