      Software Engineer Interview

      Sep 13, 2012
      Anonymous interview candidate
      No offer
      Positive experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Amazon in Feb 2012

      Interview

      Received three appointments for phone interviews all set up via email, none of them very quick as far as responses. Each interview was 45 minute, the last interview that was set up was a template email sent to my address "Hello [Name] I'd like to set up an interview on [Date]"... that never turned into an interview, and I removed myself from the process because I found a job locally in the mean time (the three interviews were over the course of more than a month). The interviews were all pencil and paper problem solving and programming knowledge. It was a review of technical algorithm and data concepts from school, I would suggest anyone to review their basic programming before the interviews. I watched Stanford's free youtube videos and they helped. Focus on heaps and other data structures and try to remember computational complexity, there is a concern for what is fastest versus slowest in the questions. The interviewers were generally nice, about par for a developer interviewing a developer.

      Question 1

      I was supposed to make a method that implemented the Fibonacci sequence. I froze up and forgot the actual equation before I stalled and finally stumbled my way through it.

      Average interview

      Application

      I interviewed at Amazon

      Interview

      Great interview process with three rounds, including a technical assessment and a technical interview. The interviewers were professional and supportive throughout the process. The questions mainly focused on DSA, problem-solving, and core technical concepts. The discussions were engaging and provided a good opportunity to demonstrate technical skills. Overall, the process was well-structured, smooth, transparent, and a very positive experience.

      Interview

      I can't comment much. I submitted an application for the software engineer position, and not even a minute later, I received an auto rejection email from Amazon (never received an online assessment).
