      Software Development Engineer I Interview

      16 Nov 2015
      Anonymous employee
      Seattle, WA
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Nov 2013

      Interview

      First three phone screens, the difficulty of the questions is average, if you prepare well with around 4-2 weeks prior you should be good to go. After the phone screens they flew me to Seattle for on site interviews, 5 interviews in total: * 3 interviews with other SDE who asked me to solve a problem about data structures and algorithms on the whiteboard, the difficulty is very similar to the phone screens, maybe a tiny bit higher. * Lunch interview with the hiring manager who asked an open ended question on how would I troubleshoot an imaginary server issue. * Interview with the bar raiser was a follow up from the problem asked by the hiring manager and then a coding question in the whiteboard.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Questions about algorithms and data structures (trees, heaps, queues), some of them were straight from other coding problems found in interviews, other were more design problems when I needed to use the correct data structures. Interview with manager and bar raiser are more open questions: they explain a problem and ask me how would I assess the problem, find the root cause and fix it.
