Status: New grad, BA Geography
Position: SDE1 at Amazon

Date: December 4th 2019

Hi, so I had my final round at Amazon for its' new grad position.
For my final round, it was an engineer and he asked me to show him my ID to make sure I'm me.
Then, he told me about his position.
Then, he copied and pasted a for-loop and its contents from OA2 Q2 and asked me to explain. I was setting up the graph and the disc array for tarjan's algorithm. I defined what the nodes and vertices were.

He then offerred to ask him anything.
I asked a lot of questions about things he was involved in, time to write production code, what work culture was like, etc.

27 minutes. It was a one round interview and i was asked virtually no technical, and no behavioral. I'm sussed out and was wondering if other people encountered this

HAS ANYONE ENCOUNTERED SUCH A SUS INTERVIEW AT AMAZON BEFORE...?

UPDATE: 12-05-2019 portal shows my application status is "moved to another job"

UPDATE 2: 12-06-2019 24 hours after my application was moved, I got an email with the offer!

Here is my interview experience in a nutshell:
OA1 (Early November):
Debugging: 7/7
OA 2 (Mid November, somewhere in the 10s)
Q1: Search a 2D matrix (passed all testcases)
Q2: Critical Routers (missed 2 out of 23 if i remember correctly)
OA3
work simulation and random reading comprehension (similar to SAT) and kind of like taking an IQ test (find the pattern to this and tell me what would be next)

FInal Round:
One amazon chime call.
Asked about snippet of code I wrote.
He then told me to ask him questions.
