      Software Engineer Interview

      Jan 6, 2017
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      Boston, MA
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied through college or university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Boston, MA) in Nov 2016

      Interview

      Extremely humiliating and disappointing interview process by Amazon. I am amazed for such a huge and famous brandname, they treat people who are interviewing with them in such disrespectful manner. I applied through the university online process. I got an email for appearing for an online assessment. It consisted of an aptitude test and a programming test.The programming test was about identifying possible bugs and the aptitude test was easy. After that I got an email to schedule an online programming interview with proctor U. I registered with them for an online interview. I made sure that I had a library room booked at the university so that nobody interrupts me. When I started with the interview, the online proctor checked the whole room, asked me to put away the notepad, pen and white board markers (I do not remember building logic without these). He asked me to rotate the laptop camera and kept complaining that libraries are not allowed for this exam (But I was in a private room!!). I then started with the first part of the assessment, which was work simulation. If I tried to read anything aloud the proctor would ask me not to say anything, earplugs were not allowed either (apparently, people can hear better without ear plugs), no moving closer to the screen to read anything, else the proctor would get suspicious that I was doing something wrong. After the work simulation, I was allowed a 5 min break, when I went out and came back he asked me to again show him the room, and questioned me on the whiteboard that was in built in the library room. I continued with my programming challenges without pen, paper or whiteboard. This was very hard. Moreover, when the instruction at the beginning of programming challenge asked me to note my interview ID (it said that this ID would be needed if I lost internet connection), I opened sticky notes on my laptop to note it down, the proctor went crazy asking me shut the stickies! I told him it was in instructions. He snapped back saying it won't be needed! I do not like to be treated this way no matter which company I am appearing for! This was a very very bad experience and I do not think I would want to interview at amazon at all after this.

      Good interview process overall. The questions were mostly focused on general software engineering knowledge, with a strong emphasis on AI concepts. The interviewers were professional, and the process was well organized.
