      Software Development Engineer Interview

      Dec 18, 2025
      Anonymous interview candidate
      No offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I interviewed at Amazon

      Interview

      1. Apply online 2. Pass the OA 3. Provide availability for final round interviews 4. Three back to back interviews - one is low level design which starts with introductions and two quick behavioral questions and jumps into the coding questions immediately. Question is vague so you will have to ask lots of questions for the interviewer to provide you with information. The next round is either behavioral completely or leetcode style. Leetcode style interview they will give you two coding questions. They type the question on the shared coding platform and again you have to ask questions to get the scope of the problem and get the constraints out of the interviewer. Usually this will give you a pretty good idea of how to solve it. ALWAYS start with the naive solution and then suggest the optimization. Sometimes the interviewer will want you to solve the question a certain way and they will hint away at the kind of solution they are looking for so listen carefully. Behavior round is completely based on the Leadership Principles so prepare good stories and carefully listen to the question to deduce what leadership principles the interviewer is looking for. Usually one question would cover 2-3 principles and the interviewer will go deep into your story with lots of followups to get the full picture.
