Interview
I remember the Amazon software engineering intern interview process only vaguely since it was quite a long time ago. It included a phone screen with coding questions, followed by technical interviews focusing on data structures, algorithms, and problem-solving. There were also some behavioral questions centered around Amazon’s leadership principles. The whole process felt structured but intense, and although the details blur with time, I recall the emphasis on both technical skills and cultural fit.
I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Amazon in Apr 2025
Interview
For SDE 1, the coding part consisted of 2 questions to be completed in 70 min. Both can be expected to be of Medium difficulty. Amazon also loves their DP questions so make sure to prepare those.
