      Software Development Engineer Interview

      Dec 22, 2010
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      No offer
      Neutral experience
      Average interview

      Application

      The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon in Dec 2010

      Interview

      Recently went through a really long interview process with Amazon which ended in no offer. The process included 3 phone interviews and as per me, I did well in them. I may have taken a little long on some common (still tricky questions) as I haven't looked at them before but in the end I did manage to come up with a solution on my own with some hints from the interviewer. Apart from this, I really can't see any other issue as most other questions I already knew solutions for. I was really hoping for an onsite interview opportunity but instead got a reject. I know amazon have some high bars for their positions but from this process, I really can't make out where I fell short. Anyway will try again in future.

      Average interview

      Application

      I interviewed at Amazon

      Interview

      The whole process stretched over nearly a month, longer than I anticipated. After an initial phone screen, I faced a technical round that included a Min Stack implementation question. We discussed design considerations and thread safety, which threw me for a bit. Fortunately, I remembered a specific mock interview I practiced on PracHub that mirrored this scenario closely, making me feel more at ease. Ultimately, I received an offer, but I chose to decline due to the company culture not feeling like the right fit.
