Amazon | SDE Intern | Seattle | Oct 2019 [Offer]

*Update: Got the offer!!!

    • Submitted my application for SDE intern on Sept 5th. Got the OA on Spet 17th.
  • The OA contains 3 parts.
    1. Debugging Challenge
    • You will be given 20 min to solve 7 debugging questions. There is no tricky bug. Most of them are straight forward.
      2. Coding Challenge.
    • 70min for two LC medium to hard questions. The time should be way enough.
      3.Work Simulation and Logical Puzzles
    • You will be given some senarios in a video simulation, and choose action you would perform.
  • Finished my OAs on Sept 28th. Got an update saying that I was moved to the final round on Oct 11.
  • Got a survey of scheduling interverview on 18th, was confirmed on the 21st, which is the same week of the interview. That said, you don't have much time to prepare for it after you get the confirmation.

Final virtual interview
This is a video interview done via Amazon Chime. There were three parts for me:

  1. Behavioral questions about past experience.
    • Tell me a time when you bla-bla-bla
  2. Quick questions about data structures
  3. Coding.
    • Choose any lanuage you like.
    • I just got on question with difficulty equivalent to LC Medium.
    • I would say focus on LC easy-medium. They might start with easy and then add on more after you finish.

I think I did well and the interviewer said he liked my solution. So far it seems only rejections have been sent out. Still waiting on the final result.
Hope that helps!
