J'ai passé un entretien chez Amazon (Seattle, WA) en sept. 2025
Entretien
I applied for the Amazon SDE Internship (Veterans program). The process consisted of multiple rounds:
Technical Coding Round – Focused on data structures and algorithms. You’re expected to explain your thinking clearly while coding. Communication matters just as much as correctness.
Behavioral / Leadership Principles Round – Heavy emphasis on STAR format answers. They go deep into ownership, dealing with ambiguity, failure, and conflict.
Final Combo Round – Mixed technical + behavioral. This round felt like a bar-raiser evaluation. They assess not only problem-solving ability but also long-term growth potential, resilience, and clarity of thought.
Questions d'entretien [1]
Question 1
They asked me to solve a data structures and algorithms problem involving efficient lookups and edge case handling. The focus wasn’t just on getting the correct answer — they wanted me to explain my reasoning clearly, analyze time and space complexity, and discuss trade-offs between different approaches.
Interviewed for silicon team. Have only been asked about the domain specific knowledge in 1st round and system design in 2nd round and C coding in 3rd round.
The interviews were 50 mins each.
First round with hr screening - 2 leetcode questions then hr manager screening then the loop which consists of 4 interviews each an hour long. The 4 interview questions they asked where three medium leetcode questions. And one system design interview question about how to shadow deploy a test software to millions of users.
Recruiter reaches out after applying through Amazon careers, no referral. Had an initial OA, then after a month had four rounds in two days - three coding one system design. Each round had 30 min behavioral and 30 min coding.
