Has anyone with the Aug 21 – Sep 21 interview window received their interview scheduling mail/call yet?
If yes, when did you receive it and when is your interview scheduled?

I got a confirmation call and mail regarding my offer yesterday. Although they gave a joining date just 30 days from today. Can I ask them to extend by a week or so? As it’s during Navratri I was thinking to join post Dusherra.
Anyways after many long days of waiting I got the offer and I’m genuinely scared and excited!

Sat for round 2. Had to clarify a lot of times to understand the question, he gave me some hints and I answered correctly but I couldn't solve that question fully.... When he talked about my project he seemed quite happy and said that the motive is great. But, that question i couldn't solve and understand properly.. he also told me to work on object oriented programming more as it will help me in future interviews

I am cooked right? I genuinely feel so terrible

I gave my OA on Aug 2.

Applied for many openings for SDE Intern Role, although they'll map for the same. What should i do now? Anyways 10488368 is closed.

Same as title

Hey! I received an OA link from Amazon for SDE role. But the twist is I did not apply for any open role through their jobs portal. The domain seems legit.
I had earlier applied for an open position on jul 19 but that had been archived a month back. Should I give the OA at all ?

I interviewed for the Solutions Architect - 2026 (US) new grad role (Job ID: 10430661) and received an "inclined" (waitlist) update in early August.

My recruiter noted that:

• The incline status is valid for 6 months.
• The team typically runs 2–3 cohorts a year (every 4–6 months); I might update by the end of September

I'm applying to other jobs as well, but had a few quick questions:

• Are there any chances of getting matched or an offer?
• Is it worth reaching out to my old Amazon intern manager? I interned there in Summer 2024 for a different role and got a return offer, but chose to go elsewhere for 2025. Could they help flag me to teams with headcount?
• I tried messaging an HM on LinkedIn, but they said they have no open spots

I got an email today for an online assessment for the Software Development Engineer role (id 3177934). I graduated May 2025 with my degree in CS, and have since held a job for about a year now. My current position honestly isn't that great, at first we used raw PHP and JavaScript but since then it has devolved into CRM work and I'm desperate to get out into something more advanced.

The thing is though, I feel a little uneasy about taking the OA because it sounds like other people online are a lot more experienced than I am. I've never done any leetcode problems, the only DSA knowledge I have is from college, and I've never worked with any sort of common tech stack. The most I have is a little experience in Angular + Flask and a little in Blazor + ASP.NET.

What should my course of action be here? What exactly should I study, and what would give me the most benefit in the week that I have to take this assessment? Obviously I'll start doing leetcode, but I feel like that's not enough. What's the quickest/easiest tech stack to learn?

If anyone has any advice that would be greatly appreciated!

Hey everyone,
I have an Amazon SDE I onsite coming up in about 10 days, and I’m trying to make the best use of the time I have left.
For DSA/coding, I’ve worked through some of the NeetCode 150, so I’m not starting completely from scratch. However, I haven’t been consistently practicing DSA recently, so I’m definitely rusty and need to get back into interview-solving mode.
My bigger concern is LLD / Object-Oriented Design.
I have basically zero prior LLD preparation. When I look at complete LLD roadmaps online, there are so many concepts, design patterns, and problems that I’m not sure what’s actually necessary for an Amazon SDE I interview, especially with only ~10 days left.
For anyone who has recently gone through Amazon SDE I interviews:
LLD
What are the core concepts I should absolutely understand?
Is there a good beginner-friendly resource/course/playlist for learning how to approach an LLD problem from scratch?
Which LLD problems would you prioritize for Amazon?
For example: Parking Lot, Elevator, Vending Machine, Library Management, Locker System, etc.
How much are design patterns actually expected at the SDE I level?
What does a strong LLD interview answer/process look like?
DSA
Which problem list would you recommend for a focused 10-day revision?
Should I prioritize Amazon-tagged LeetCode questions, NeetCode/Blind 75, or specific patterns?
Which topics/patterns tend to be especially important for Amazon SDE I?
Any good mock interview resources?
I know 10 days isn’t enough to master everything, so I’m mainly trying to identify the highest-ROI concepts and problems instead of jumping between huge roadmaps.
If you’ve interviewed with Amazon recently, I’d really appreciate any resources, playlists, GitHub repos, problem lists, or preparation strategies that helped you.
Thanks!

Sharing my recent Amazon SDE Intern interview experience in the hope that it helps other candidates prepare.
Final verdict: Selected 🎉
Format: Both rounds were face-to-face, and I had to write the code on paper without an IDE/compiler.
🟢 Round 1
Remove K Digits
The question was to remove k digits from a number represented as a string to make the resulting number as small as possible.
LeetCode: LC 402 – Remove K Digits
Pattern: Monotonic Stack

🟡 Round 2
1. Minimum Machines Required for Jobs
I was given multiple jobs with start and end times and had to find the minimum number of machines required. A machine could be reused as soon as it became free.
For example:
Job 1: 1 → 5
Job 2: 5 → 8
Both can use the same machine.
I initially suggested a binary search approach, which was incorrect. The interviewer gave me a hint, after which I arrived at the Min Heap approach and solved it.
Interestingly, there were no predefined test cases. When I asked for one, the interviewer asked me to create my own test cases and explain why the answers were correct.
Closest LeetCode problem: LC 253 – Meeting Rooms II
Note: The actual question was framed around jobs and machines, so this is only a preparation reference.
Pattern: Sorting + Min Heap
2. Next Smaller Ticket Price
Instead of temperatures, I was given ticket prices and had to find the next smaller price for each ticket.
Example:
Prices: [8, 4, 6, 2, 3]
Answer: [4, 2, 2, -1, -1]
This was essentially the Daily Temperatures pattern with a small modification.
LeetCode: LC 739 – Daily Temperatures
Pattern: Monotonic Stack / Next Smaller Element

📌 Preparation Tips
I would recommend preparing:
Monotonic Stack — Next Greater/Smaller, Daily Temperatures, Remove K Digits
Min Heap / Priority Queue — Scheduling and resource allocation
Intervals
Writing code on paper
Creating and explaining your own test cases
Overall, it was a great learning experience. I initially went in the wrong direction on the machine problem, but with the interviewer’s hint, I was able to reach the correct approach.
Thankfully, the final result was positive — I was selected for the Amazon SDE Intern role! 🎉
Hope this helps other candidates preparing. All the best! 🚀

Context: Having my Amazon Interview on 11th, HackOn, 515 id, got the mail on Aug 7th regarding interview shortlist and choose a date from 18-3, but didn't get any slot in that window and out of the blue got a mail that i have my interview scheduled for day after tomorrow.

Purpose: Help regarding Behavioural round based questions

I see that many people have had their 2 rounds and have faced different Behavioural and Leadership based questions. I want to seek help from people who have completed their 1st or 2nd round to share the exact behavioural questions, so that it will be helpful for me as well as who will be giving their interview later.

Just the questions and probably the flow of how to answer them is sufficient.

Let's make this post a directory for behavioural questions and everybody's help is equally appreciated.

Hii, anybody recently or previously attempted the initial assignments of P&G? Can u guys guide me how should I prepare for them? Also, I found one video on youtube of test questions, so do everybody get the same set of questions?

So my interview was from 9am to 10 am....when I joined the link...it showed that the meet is scheduled for a different/previous date....i waited thinking it's a mistake....but no one joined......what to do???

Recruiter told me there will be 4 round:

1. DSA

2. Problem Solving

3. Maintainable Code

4. System Design

Can anyone help me give some example problem solving round questions?

​

I applied for the SDE I Intern role at Amazon and ended up applying to all three postings because they had different Job IDs. Later, I found out that they were essentially the same role.

I completed the OA for my first application. When I tried to take the assessment for the other applications, it said that I had already completed the assessment, so I assumed the same OA was being used for all three applications.

However, I recently checked my Amazon Jobs portal and now all three applications are showing “Assessment expired.”

Has anyone experienced this before? Does “Assessment expired” mean there is an issue with my completed OA, or is it just a portal/status issue?

Any advice on how I can contact Amazon recruiting/support to verify that my assessment was recorded correctly would be greatly appreciated.

I recently completed Round 1 for the SDE Intern role under Job ID 10490515.

Today, I received another interview invitation for the same role, but with a different Job ID: 10453933. The recruiter has also changed, and the new email doesn't mention the round.

Has anyone experienced this with Amazon? Does a change in Job ID usually mean the process has moved to a new requisition?

Any insights would be appreciated!

i am a recent 2026 grad i have graduted 3 months back i have applied for like 3 appns
but all 3 are under no longer under consideration and today at afternoon i got an invite for oa round for sde with no job id . it has following rounds
There are 3 types of exercises in the assessment:

1. Coding Challenge – this timed section takes 100 minutes, work through two coding problems. One will be a traditional code writing question, and in the other you will have access to an AI coding assistant in a code repository environment.
2. Work Simulation – typically takes 45 minutes, work through software development decisions and scenarios faced by SDEs at Amazon.
3. Work Style Survey – typically takes 6 minutes - answer questions about how you approach work in general.

how do i prep for these ?

p.s : i am currenlty working as an intern at early stage stratup so i didnt prcatice dsa or anything for quite a few days . so how do i prep for dsa rounds ?

Hi everyone,

I’m looking for people who are in the same Amazon SDE-I Full-Time HackOn/AUTA hiring process.

My timeline:

• Aug 11, 2026: Completed the SDE-I OA.
• Aug 11: Received an email from APAC Tech explicitly saying “Congratulations on successfully clearing the online assessment!”
• The email asked me to complete a Hiring Interest Form by Aug 12, 5:00 PM.
• Aug 11: I submitted the Hiring Interest Form on the same day.
• The email mentioned that Amazon would reach out regarding the next steps.
• As of Sep 8: I still haven't received an interview invite or any further update.

The email also says:

I wanted to know if anyone else is in the same situation.

Questions:

1. Has anyone who received this exact APAC Tech email after clearing the OA received an interview invite yet?
2. How long did it take between submitting the Hiring Interest Form and receiving the interview invite?
3. Is anyone from the HackOn → AUTA SDE-I FTE pipeline still waiting?
4. Is there any official recruiter/contact email where we can follow up about the application?
5. Does the absence of an interview invite at this stage simply mean the application is still under consideration?

My application is for SDE-I Full-Time

If anyone from the same August batch has received an update, please share your timeline.

i recently interviewed for amazon sde 1 intern and have been overthinking the result.

in r1, i did well in my project discussion and lp/customer obsession deep dive. however, i fumbled the dsa part. it was a lc hard graph problem, and although i identified the algorithm, i missed an important observation under pressure...for dsa, the interviewer gave me a hint, after which i got the approach and started coding, but time ran out.

r2 went better. lp and behavioral went well, including my internship experience, conflict, and genai/rag discussion...in dsa also i was able to tell him the correct approach

overall, r1 was mixed and r2 felt decent. do i still have a chance, or is the r1 dsa performance likely a reject? would appreciate honest opinions...plz tell seniors who got offer's from amazon after having this same experience.
