      Software Development Engineer (SDE) Interview

      Anonymous interview candidate
      Delhi Cantonment
      Declined offer
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Amazon (Austin, TX) in Nov 2021

      Interview

      First had a phone call with the recruiter that lasted about 20 minutes and got some great information. I had a couple other Amazon recruiters reach out to me about other opportunities. My recruiter told me that I could go with him and if it doesn't work out I can immediately interview for other opportunities, which I found is not the case. Second, I had a online assessment. The assessment wasn't bad and consisted of 2 easy/medium leetcode style questions. I was able to pass all test cases. Third, I had the virtual onsite interview. I had a good preparation for the interview. About 3 days before the virtual onsite my recruiter told me I was now interviewing for SDE II. I had not brushed up on system design which is one of the SDE II interviews. I tried to get caught up but 3 days wasn't enough time. I was insanely nervous for the interviews and could hardly think straight because I was so nervous for the system design. In the end it was my fault because I blocked up because I was so nervous for my system design interview. Ironically I feel I did pretty well on system design. Amazon has a very good hiring process, I just got unlucky with my recruiter.
