The Amazon SDE interview process typically consists of several stages. It starts with an online assessment, which may include coding questions and debugging tasks. This is followed by phone interviews focusing on data structures, algorithms, and problem-solving. Successful candidates proceed to onsite interviews (or virtual loops), featuring multiple rounds that assess coding skills, system design, and behavioral questions based on Amazon's Leadership Principles. Technical questions often emphasize efficiency and scalability. The behavioral part gauges alignment with company culture. Candidates are evaluated holistically, including technical expertise, problem-solving approach, and adaptability, ensuring they meet Amazon's high standards for software development engineers.

That moment when the interviewer asked about finding indices in an array for a target sum was wild — I had just tackled something identical while prepping on PracHub. The interview included a technical round with another question about designing an in-memory LRU cache and a behavioral question about meeting tight deadlines. After a smooth discussion, I was told I'd received an offer, which I happily accepted. Overall, the process felt pretty straightforward and not overly challenging.

Interviewed for silicon team. Have only been asked about the domain specific knowledge in 1st round and system design in 2nd round and C coding in 3rd round.
The interviews were 50 mins each.
First round with hr screening - 2 leetcode questions then hr manager screening then the loop which consists of 4 interviews each an hour long. The 4 interview questions they asked where three medium leetcode questions. And one system design interview question about how to shadow deploy a test software to millions of users.
