      Senior Engineer Interview

      Jul 29, 2022
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      Declined offer
      Negative experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon in Mar 2022

      Interview

      Based on my long experience along with Amazon either the recruiting team or the interviewers, I'd say they are one of the worst ever to communicate with. Most of the technical interviewers are poor in knowledge and communication, and I believe they were hired because of networking and contacts without the basis of real experience and competency. The conundrum when they are asking for hiring lead or senior level engineer, they are still asking the most awkward and silly questions which in my opinion reflects a level of technicians not for Engineers. I wouldn't try again with them unfortunately as to is not worth for my mental health and time. Regards,

      Question 1

      Low-level questions, the interview was a manager coming from a technician background and he didn't know how to address proper questions or even entice the interviewee to stay in the interview.

      Sr. Engineer Interview

      Aug 16, 2023
      Anonymous employee
      Boston, MA
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Amazon (Boston, MA) in Jul 2022

      Interview

      The complete interview process has 5 rounds, 1 screening and 4 full loop rounds. Each round starts with 2 behaviorial questions. However, for your level, check about the details with the HR you are talking to before your interview. I was a lil surprised or I should say was not aware that behavioral questions will be asked in the screening round too. The interviewers are all very helpful, and provide guidance when needed. They definitely want you to succeed and not fail. The screening round was a coding round. I heard back from the HR the same evening. In the full loop, 1 round was design and rest 3 were coding rounds. The HR got back to me with an offer 4 days after my full loop. Overall, a good interview experience.
