Hello everyone! I wanted to share my interview experience with Amazon for the role of Software Engineer. The entire process consisted of four rounds, and it was a challenging yet rewarding experience.
Round 1: Coding Assessment
The coding assessment was conducted on an online platform. I received an email invitation with a link to the coding test. The test consisted of two coding questions that needed to be solved within 90 minutes. Here’s an example of one of the questions:
Given a string, find the length of the longest substring without repeating characters.
I managed to solve both questions successfully and passed all the test cases. This qualified me for the next round.
Round 2: Technical Interview
This round was a technical interview conducted via video call. The interviewer was friendly and created a comfortable environment for me to showcase my technical skills. The questions focused on data structures, algorithms, and problem-solving. Some of the questions I was asked included:
- Implement a binary search algorithm.
- Design a system for an online shopping platform with various functionalities.
I thoroughly enjoyed discussing these topics with the interviewer and felt challenged in a positive way.
Round 3: System Design
The third round was dedicated to system design. The interviewer presented me with a real-world scenario and asked me to design a scalable and efficient system to address the given requirements. We discussed various aspects such as database design, API architecture, and handling high traffic. It was a stimulating discussion, and the interviewer provided valuable feedback on my design choices.
Round 4: HR and Behavioral Interview
The final round was a combination of HR and behavioral questions. The interviewer was interested in learning about my experiences, career aspirations, and how I handle various situations. Some of the questions asked were:
- Tell me about a challenging situation you faced during a project and how you resolved it.
- How do you handle conflicts within a team?
- The interviewer was attentive and listened actively to my responses. They provided encouraging feedback and made me feel confident throughout the conversation.
Overall, my interview experience with Amazon was exceptional. The interviewers were knowledgeable, and supportive, and created a positive atmosphere. The challenging questions allowed me to showcase my skills and problem-solving abilities. After successfully completing all rounds, I was thrilled to receive the news that I had been offered a Software Engineer position at Amazon.
I am grateful for the opportunity and excited to embark on this new journey with such a renowned company.
