I applied online. The process took 6 months. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Jun 2025
Interview
Interview loop of 3 team members, including a bar raiser. All were senior managers with minimum 7 -10 years of work experience at Amazon, at the very least. Bar raiser was based on LPs and dived deep into my resume.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
You're handling requests for Alexa and parsing to ensure Alexa can set a reminder or delete a reminder. The prompt starts with "Alexa, " followed by a verb. Define the next steps and how you'd parse the response and accordingly how you'd return whether to set a reminder or not. Include error handling of action not defined or improper verb or improper command (not starting with alexa)
Nach dem Online Assesment wurde mit mir ein Interview scheduled in welchem ich ein gespräch mit einem SDE 2 geführt habe, Neben der Programming Task wäre es wichtig gewesen zu wissen das jede Zeit zum kennenlernen von der Zeit vom lösen abgeht.
same format like:
1 technical, 1 behavioral, 1 technical + behavioral, 1st round was a bit tricky, the question was framed like how you see in hackerank. Though i deviated from the actual answer, the interviewer didn't correct me and instead, was encouraging my apporach.
