The Amazon full-time SDE hiring process starts with an online application, followed by an Online Assessment consisting of two coding problems (usually medium-level, from topics like arrays, graphs, or heaps), a short work style survey based on Leadership Principles, and a feedback form. Successful candidates are then invited to 3–4 virtual interview rounds.

Each interview includes 1-2 coding problems and questions on Amazon’s Leadership Principles. Coding rounds test problem-solving, optimization, and code quality, while the final (managerial) round focuses more on behavioral and ownership-based questions.

Overall, the process is structured and professional, interviewers are polite, supportive, and emphasize both technical depth and culture fit. Strong coding skills, clear communication, and familiarity with Amazon’s principles are key to success.
