I received an email from Amazon to fill out an interest form for a Non-SDE role. After a week, an online assessment was scheduled for me.
Online Assessment:
The Online Assessment round consisted of 14 sections mostly MCQs, with each section having 5-8 questions. These sections included:
- Coding (1- Hard Leetcode problem)
- Algorithms
- Data Structures
- Pseudo Code
- Python
- Software Development
- Software Testing Concepts
- Data Visualisation & Interpretation
- OOP (Object-Oriented Programming)
- Computer Networks
- Operating systems
- Linux basics
- Data Modelling & Warehouse
- Data Query
After 3 days, I received an email saying I was qualified and asked to apply for the job via the Amazon Jobs portal. My interview was scheduled a week later. It was a virtual interview conducted on Chime. I had 4 days to prepare for the interview. My main focus was on testing methodologies as it was a QAE role.
Technical Interview 1: (60 min)
- Introduce yourself.
- What are the different types of testing?
- Difference between Regression testing and Sanity testing.
- Write various test cases for the lightning deal feature of Amazon shopping.
- Consider the payment gateway page of Amazon shopping and write all the possible test data for the credit card details.
Three days after the first round, I received my round 2 schedule which was the next day.
Technical Interview 2: (60 min)
- Introduce yourself.
- Explain the project that you have mentioned in your resume(specific).
- Follow-up questions about the project.
- Programming question- Find the minimum number of currency notes and values that sum to a given amount
- Programming question 2- Longest consequent subsequence in the given array (I don’t remember it clearly, but it was an easy-level question)
- What is the importance of QAE?
- Why are you interested in the QAE role?
The whole process took 2 weeks. The interviewers were very friendly and I was comfortable throughout the interview. Both rounds went well. Try to be interactive while solving the programming questions. Be confident about the project you are explaining. I was questioned about the usefulness of my project, so you should be able to defend it and convince the interviewer.
Five days later, I received the offer.
