      Software Engineer II SDE2 Interview

      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Amazon in Jul 2025

      Interview

      • The online assessment is well-structured and tests both algorithmic problem-solving and system design knowledge. • Coding problems are clear, with a mix of data structures, algorithms, and occasionally a bit of optimization. • The system design question for SDE2 is practical and reflects real-world Amazon-scale considerations. • The platform is stable, and test cases are reasonable, although edge cases can be tricky.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      I completed the Amazon SDE2 online assignment. I am bound by an NDA, so I cannot share specific questions or solutions. Overall, the assignment was challenging but fair, testing algorithmic problem-solving, coding skills, and system design knowledge. Time management was important, and the problems reflected real-world scenarios at Amazon.

      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Amazon (Bengaluru) in Jun 2026

      Interview

      A recruiter reached out to me regarding the opportunity. After successfully clearing the Online Assessment (OA), I was invited to the Amazon Loop Interview process. The loop comprised four rounds: two coding interviews (featuring two LeetCode Medium problems in the first round and one LeetCode Hard problem in the second), a behavioral interview focused extensively on Amazon's Leadership Principles, and a final interview with the Hiring Manager that included one coding problem and a High-Level Design (HLD) system design discussio

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      You are given a 2D grid representing a terrain map with three types of cells: • 'T' - Radio tower (emits signals) • 'M' - Mountain (blocks signals) • '.' - Empty cell (signals pass through) Each radio tower broadcasts signals in 4 cardinal directions (up, down, left, right). A signal travels in a straight line until it either: • Hits a mountain (signal stops) • Reaches the grid boundary (signal stops) Your task: Determine which pairs of radio towers can communicate with each other. Two towers can communicate if a signal from one tower can reach the other tower. Input Format grid = [ ['T', '.', '.', 'T'], ['.', 'M', '.', '.'], ['T', '.', '.', 'T'] ] Example 1: Basic Line of Sight Input: T . . T . . . . T . . T Signal Propagation: Tower (0,0) → → → reaches Tower (0,3) ✓ Tower (0,3) ↓ ↓ reaches Tower (2,3) ✓ Tower (2,0) → → → reaches Tower (2,3) ✓ Tower (0,0) ↓ ↓ reaches Tower (2,0) ✓ Output: [ ((0, 0), (0, 3)), # Top-left ↔ Top-right ((0, 3), (2, 3)), # Top-right ↔ Bottom-right ((2, 0), (2, 3)), # Bottom-left ↔ Bottom-right ((0, 0), (2, 0)) ] Total communicating pairs: 4 Coding question were building a word game feature. Given a 2d from user tray and dictionary of valid words return all the words found by connecting adjavent cells board = o a a n e t a e i h k r i f l v words = ["oath","pea","eat","rain"] Output: ["oath","eat"]
