Amazon | SDE1 | Seattle | Aug 2019 [Offer]

Background
I was just starting my first job fresh out of college and after I updated my job title in Linkedin, I got contacted by a Amazon recruiter through PM on Linkedin. Then I told him I was interested and they sent me OA.

Online Assessment

  • Two questions for 90 minutes, but I solved them in 45 minutes.

Phone Screen

  • I did not get a phone screen. Direct invite to onsite.

Onsite in Seattle

Round 1: [System Design]

  • Leadership Principle Questions (20 minutes)
  • Design an airport

Round 2:

  • Leadership Principle Questions (20 minutes)
  • Find the first unique string from a stream of strings

Round 3:

Round 4:

  • Leadership Principle Questions (20 minutes)
  • Finding median of 2 array of integers

Now I have little over 3 months of experience in the industry. I used to do LC problems last year heavily. Probably solved around 500 questions 2 sometimes 3 times.

Also I didn't have CS bachelors, but CS masters. Last year, I had a Apple and Bloomberg onsite and failed both of them. But my current job is one of the big companies which I also interned there last summer.

Please feel free to ask questions. Thank you LC community!
