In many online technical assessments, you’ll typically encounter two major segments. First, you’ll face coding challenges—often two problem-solving tasks that test your algorithmic thinking and familiarity with data structures. Then comes a workday simulation, where you respond to a series of emails as though you’re at work, tackling tasks, providing solutions, and prioritizing requests. This simulation checks your communication skills, time management, and teamwork approach by having you explain technical decisions, outline steps to resolve issues, and address multiple concurrent tasks—just like in a real-world environment.

Question 1
We’ve received multiple customer complaints about slow response times in the new feature we rolled out last week. Could you walk us through your approach for diagnosing performance bottlenecks in our service and propose how we could optimize it for faster throughput? Please include any metrics or tools you’d use, and provide an estimated timeline for resolution."
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.
Recruiter reaches out after applying through Amazon careers, no referral. Had an initial OA, then after a month had four rounds in two days - three coding one system design. Each round had 30 min behavioral and 30 min coding.
