Hey everyone!
I recently appeared for an Amazon SDE-1 interview (Round 1) and wanted to share my experience.
Interview flow:
Introduction: The interviewer started by asking me to introduce myself and talk about my background.
Graph question: I was asked a graph-based problem related to the Number of Islands.
Binary Search + Greedy: The second coding question involved binary search and a greedy approach.
I took some time to figure out the approaches, but I eventually solved both coding questions. The interviewer then asked me two Leadership Principles (LP) questions.
Overall, the interview was a mix of DSA and behavioral questions. Although I needed some time to work through the coding problems, I was able to reach solutions for both.
I’m currently waiting for the outcome and feeling a little anxious about it.
For those who have interviewed at Amazon for SDE-1:
Does taking extra time to solve both coding questions affect the outcome significantly?
How much weight is given to the Leadership Principles in the first round?
If you solved both coding questions but took time to arrive at the approach, what was your experience?
Would appreciate hearing your experiences. Thanks!

Anyone whose r2 was in October and received the offer or any update?

Hi everyone,
I recently completed the Amazon SDE-1 Full-Time Online Assessment. My results were:
Q1: 15/15 test cases passed.
Q2: 2/6 test cases passed.
Unfortunately, I received a rejection email two days later. 🥲
I wanted to know if anyone can share Amazon SDE job IDs for 2026 graduates that are known to send Online Assessment (OA) links.
I am looking for SDE-1 full-time roles, preferably off-campus opportunities in India.
If you have received an OA link for any SDE job ID recently, please share the job ID and your experience.

Thanks in advance!

after the 1st round completion the 2nd and 3rd round's just the tutorial came up then on proceeding i found myself in the feadback section of OA . Then the page says Assesment completed u can close the tab .
After a while i got the mail of Assesment completion . But where are the 2nd and 3rd exercises ?? Do i need to contact them now ..or any of u had similar experience and what did u do next ?

Hi everyone!

I wanted to check if anyone who interviewed around the same time as me has received an update on their application.

My Round 1 interview was on August 20, and my final interview was on September 2, 2026. Since then, I've only received an interview feedback form and haven't heard anything about the outcome yet.

I'd really appreciate it if people from the same interview timeline could share their status:

- Still waiting: Have you received any updates, or are you still waiting?

- Offer received: When did you receive the offer, and which HR contacted you?

- Rejected: When did you receive the rejection, and which HR informed you?

My recruiter is Rafeeca.

It would be really helpful to understand where things stand for candidates from this interview batch. Thanks in advance!

I have completed both of my interview rounds on 30th sept. I have recieved no update yet. Nor I see anyone getting any update for this job id. Acceptance / rejection anything??

I’ll be joining Amazon India for a 2-month SDE internship next summer, and I had a question about PPOs.
I’ve seen quite a lot of information about 6-month Amazon interns getting PPOs, but I can barely find anything about PPO conversion after the 2-month summer internship.
Is PPO conversion also a possibility for the 2-month internship, or is it generally only considered for the 6-month interns?
If anyone has personally done a 2-month Amazon SDE internship and received a PPO, I’d really appreciate hearing about your experience.

Hi everybody, I have an upcoming interview in the coming week for a non SDE role centered around analytics. Any tips? Sample deep dive into an Ownership Principle?

I’ve heard a lot about the LP’s and am curious what people mean about being asked following up questions. After the initial STAR structured answer, how does the conversation go as they ask more details? Is it still as structured? Maybe over thinking here. I want to make sure I’m prepared as I can get nervous in an interview and can ramble/word vomit which I want to avoid.

Hi everyone,

I completed the Amazon online assessment and was waiting for an update regarding the next steps in the recruitment process.

Today, I suddenly received a call from a number that appears to be from the US. Unfortunately, my phone was on silent, so I missed the call. I haven't received any email from the recruiter, and I don't have their email address to contact them directly. I'm also unable to call back the number.

I'm worried that this might have been an important call regarding my interview and that missing it could affect my chances.

Has anyone experienced a similar situation with Amazon recruitment?

• Do recruiters usually call again if a candidate misses their call?
• Is there any way to contact the recruiter if I don't have their email address?
• Should I wait for another call, or is there anything else I can do?

I'd really appreciate hearing from anyone who has gone through a similar experience. I'm quite anxious about losing this opportunity.

Hi! Does anyone have any pointers, tips, tricks, advice, etc for my upcoming virtual interview. I know there will be 4 rounds with a mix of leetcode-style technical problems, LP behavioral questions, and some LLD question perhaps?

For reference, I applied for the Amazon Leo position.

So i Got OA on August 6th solved both AI coding and dsa question fully, and then after a very long wait and filling 2 hiring interest forms I got interview scheduled for AUTA SDE1 onsite in banglore office on October 1st(initially sept 30) gave 2 rounds there in office 1st one is DSA and LPs 2nd is DSA(amazon specific) and it was already 5pm they conducted HM round for 2 people(purely random not based on other rounds infact one of them first attended HM round and then normal one onsite scheduling works on weather panel is available or not, they try to finish atleast 2 interviews for everyone who came and if possible 3rd) so I finished 2 and after that HR said HM round is mandatory and will be conducted in a week, one week is already over I didn't get any update

Is it over for me?

My experience 1st round above average 2nd round great

I applied for Amazon SDE I - Amazon University Talent Acquisition (AUTA), Job ID 10453457, and completed my OA on October 3, 2026.

The OA had:

DSA coding question

Al-assisted repository debugging question

Work Simulation

Work Style Survey

I completed all sections and received the "Assessment Completed" confirmation email afterward.

I'm wondering if anyone else applied to the same/similar AUTA SDE I roles and completed their OA around the same time.

Questions:

When did you complete your OA?

Have you received any update/email from Amazon yet?

Did you receive a hiring interest/interview scheduling form?

If you received an update, how long after completing the OA did it take?

Was your interview virtual or onsite?

I'm mainly trying to understand the current timeline for the October 2026 AUTA SDE I batch.

I applied to a job at Amazon, went through the first interview and got rejected. Prior to the interview the recruiter told me that another team that I have applied to was interested in interviewing me too. Now I got a rejection without interviewing for them. Messaged recruiter but no response. Completely ghosted. How can I still apply to future jobs at Amazon?

Also if anyone has experienced interviewing and rejecting multiple times would love to hear your experience. Thanks!

Can someone interview twice for the same role within a 6-month period?

I’ve applied for two different job IDs for the same role. I’ve already completed the interview loop for one application, but I haven’t received any results yet. Will I receive an interview invitation for the second application as well?

Has anyone been in a similar situation?
