I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (New York, NY) in Sep 2024
Interview
entry level college grad SDE position. I had a recruiter contact me and then did an online assessment with 2 leetcode medium (maybe easy?) questions and a virtual job simulation. After that, I had 3 back to back interviews, 1 focused on behavioral leadership skills and 2 technical. 2 technical were focused mostly on objective orientated programming and the actual coding was not too hard.

Question 1
why did you choose a certain language or technology?
It started with an OA, and then after a few weeks, I got invited to four rounds of interviews: technical and behavioral at 3 of the 4, and behavioral only at one.

Question 1
Pergunta historicas baseada nos principios de lideranca da amazon.
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.
