The interview process for the Software Engineer role at Amazon included an initial online assessment followed by multiple rounds of technical and behavioral interviews. The technical rounds focused on data structures, algorithms, and system design, while the behavioral round was based on Amazon’s Leadership Principles. Although I wasn’t selected in the final round, it was a valuable learning experience that helped me strengthen my problem-solving, design thinking, and communication skills for future opportunities

First round is just leet code coding which screens through AI before going into live coding. Pretty simple and straighforward. Not too tough. Recruiter walks through it pretty nicely. Not sure how many rounds there are exactly
After submitting my application for the Software Engineer position, I received an invitation to complete an automated Online Assessment (OA). The assessment consisted of standard coding challenges, primarily focusing on algorithmic and data structure problems. Unfortunately, a few days after submitting my solutions for the assessment, I received an email informing me that I would not be moving forward in the interview process and was rejected.
