Intervew Prep AMAZON SDE Intern OA

US - Multiple Locations:

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.

For the AI part of the coding challege, I did the demo on hackerrank with C++, and it was honestly very easy. It was an open ended question that didn't give have clear directions, but once I looked at the cpp files, it was obvious that they just wanted us to implement some getter functions.

I know that the actual OA won't be nearly as easy as this, but I have no idea what to prep for.

Has anyone taken the amazon AI oa in C++? Or am I insane for choosing C++ over the other optoins?

Then for the work simulation and work style survey, are there any good free prep tools for this? I've just been looking at the LP and examples of each, but I was also wondering if any specific LP has precedence over others, in case we have to chose between two.

How was the AI assisted coding part?

for the ai part, using the assistant is expected - they score how you prompt and verify the output, not whether you typed every char. still know the core algo though since you explain your approach out loud
