Hi community, I just wanted to share my experience for new grad SDE 1 role at Amazon. I have spent a lot of time on reddit scrolling through different interview experience for this role and it has surely helped me a lot. Just wanted to give back to the community. I will share the detailed timeline and steps that were followed. Background : Tierless college 2024 CSE grad. No company comes to college not even WITCH companies. Working in a Series B startup as a SE. Pay is decent (base pay is slightly less than most big tech), work is more but enjoyable and many things to learn. I have done decent CP (Expert on Codeforces and Guardian on Leetcode) in college, and have a good CP profile. Current Status : Offer Received🎉 First Communication (08/11/2024) I received an email from [email protected] with JD and a link to fill the interest form. I immediately filled out the form. Second Communication (08/11/2024) Received the second mail on the same day after few hours with the actual Job link on Amazon Careers page. Filled it out immediately. Third Communication (09/11/2024) Received the OA link with all the details related to the assessment. And gave the OA the next day on 10/11/2024. Solved 2 coding problems in around 20 - 25 minutes. And the rest was Amazon Coding Style Assesment. OA Results (10/11/2024) Received the email the same day stating that I have cleared the OA and my interviews will be held between 11/11/2024 - 29/11/2024. First Interview (21/11/2024) For some time I didn't receive any communication, so I reverted on the mail for OA results on 19/11/2024 starting the fact that I have not received my interview dates. Most probably it was a coincidence but I received my next email on 20/11/2024 stating that my first round will be on 21/11/2024 There were 2 interviewers, introduced themselves and stated pattern of interview. They mentioned that there will be 2 leetcode style questions and some questions related to my experience (LP questions). First question was a leetcode medium and the second question was a leetcode easy. Medium problem was similar to this <a href="https://leetcode.com/problems/group-anagrams/description/.
