I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Amazon (Redmond, WA) in Jan 2025
Interview
First interview after ten years. Failed on the online code assessment. Not sure why the test link said SDE, but the description before the questions said it's SDE II. Learned a lot on what and how to prepare for the future interview.

Question 1
Two questions, based on Leetcode difficulty, the first one would be rated as Easy, the second one might be Hard, it's a variant of Leetcode's Medium with additional requirement.
I had a very mid interview experience. I first had an OA in December, and got the invitation to the onsite in mid January. The interview loop was all going to be in one day, but one interviewer couldn't make it and ended up rescheduling twice. The interviews consisted of medium leetcode questions, simple system design, and leadership principle questions.

Question 1
Tell me about a time you missed a deadline. What did you do to handle the situation?
The Amazon interview process includes an online application, recruiter screening, assessments, and multiple rounds of behavioral and technical interviews focused on Leadership Principles, problem-solving, and role-specific expertise. Technical interview was very easy asking me leetcode questions.
