Tell me about a time you disagreed with someone and how you resolved it.

"The interview screen was pretty straightforward. The hiring manager screen is mainly behavioral and assessing your product style and fit"

"I got into the process through a referral-like word-of-mouth path after targeting the role myself, and the loop ended up being three stages: a hiring-manager chat, a practical live technical screen, and then a six-interview onsite spread across multiple days because of reschedules. The early rounds felt surprisingly grounded in the real job because I was talking to people from the actual org, not random interviewers from somewhere else in the company. The first technical screen was simple on purpose, just parsing and filtering JSON and then talking through how I'd scale it. The onsite was where the difficulty really jumped, especially the Go-by-hand coding rounds and the AI system design round that caught me off guard. I ended up getting a pretty cold no with almost no feedback beyond that the team didn't find an exact match, which was rough after that much time."

"Process is very inline with what is explained here and on youtube, prepare stories that fit the questions"

"Behavioral and Technical rounds were very friendly and relaxed. The last round was very intense and a technical deep dive into software engineering fundamentals like design patterns, code quality evaluation, etc."

"I interviewed for an SDE II role, and the whole process felt pretty standard and transparent. Amazon told me upfront what the process would look like, so I did not feel like I was guessing what came next: first an online assessment, then three 40-minute interviews back to back on the same day. The technical questions were all very classic problems, and the biggest surprise was that my interviewers often started with coding first instead of spending the first part on behavioral. The behavioral side was still important, but the follow-ups went deep into the actual details of my work instead of stopping at a polished STAR answer. After the loop, my recruiter mostly asked about logistics like start date and work authorization, and then they sent me the offer letter."

"It was pretty standard overall, but what stood out was how much they seemed to care that I really understood the problem and was not just spitting out a memorized answer. I had interviewed for this role before and made it to the final round, so this time they skipped the online assessment and started me with a phone screen after a recruiter call. After I passed that, I did a final loop with three technical interviews and one behavioral. The technical rounds were mostly straight-forward coding problems, but with more pressure on explaining brute force first, optimizing from there, and defending why I chose one approach over another. One thing that really matters is you cannot run your code, so you have to manually trace it and prove it works. The recruiter also made it clear that if you clear the loop, team matching can still take a long time depending on how specific you are about office and team preferences."
