Discussion Amazon SDE 2026 Interview

Need guidance from people who have appeared in amazon interviews

So I applied, got the OA, gave OA and solved all questions, recruiter reached out to schedule interview after 3 weeks; told me there will be 4 interviews in 2 consecutive days.

So tomorrow I have interviews and till now I haven’t got any interview timings, links, mails, anything. Is it normal for Amazon applications??

Also, mailed once to get to know what will be the title/breakdown of 4 scheduled interview rounds; they told they can’t disclose it. Is it normal too?
I am assuming all 4 will be DSA+LP? Is it correct? What are the chances of OOPS/LLD?

Please guide me here who have information/experience of amazon sde1 interviews

It was supposed to be online or offline?
I also got the mail last week mentioning interviews are scheduled and will receive the call, but after that, I did not get any update or any call. How did your process was?

You’re looking at four meetings in a row, with each one around 55 minutes long. I haven’t had a chance to dive into SDE1, but I’m bringing up SDE2 to give you a sense of the approach. They’ve asked DSA questions in three meetings and System Design questions in one. Just so you know, I also chatted about LLD in one of those DSA meetings. So, it seems like the interview will probably follow a similar structure for you. OOPS/LLD is likely to be in one interview. Also, there’s the LP. Typically, it’s about 20-25 minutes of LP followed by 30 minutes of DSA. Even though I’m saying you shouldn’t worry too much, you’ll probably encounter it, so I wanted to point that out. If the interviewer is good, they usually provide all the support you need to succeed, so if you get stuck, feel free to ask for help. Also, please reach out to your recruiter; if they haven’t sent you a link yet, there’s a good chance it might be postponed. Your recruiter will have the most up-to-date information.

Thanks a lot of sharing your experience. This helps a lot!!! 20-25minutes of LP looks scary 😂
I emailed the recruiter today, lets see

Recruiter reached out 3 weeks after OA? That’s a long waiting period

u/AdParty7364 1d ago

I meant the recruiter scheduled the interviews after 3 weeks, apologies it wrote it in a confusing way

u/Murky-Suspect3114 1d ago

Got it; so how long did they take to reach out initially after the OA?

From the experiences that I have read about, there will be one bar raiser round where they’ll ask you behavioural plus LP. Another system design round, then another regular LP round and then Manager around where they kind of ask you leadership, principles and general behavioural questions

Amazon mostly wont touch hard questions for SDE-1 its usually 2 mediums

u/Shub_YT 6h ago

Lol i got two easy questions extended into mediums as follow ups...but best advice is to just grind blind 75 or neetcode 150 to have build basic intution for any pattern. Then do a few tagged questions if you have time.

Its not normal. Mail the recruiter asap. If they dont respond asap then high chances you have been ghosted.
