So I'm a new grad about to take an Amazon Virtual interview. Some people have to do 3 rounds but I only have one. Is that a good sign and what can I expect for their virtual/Skype interview? I heard back from a friend who said he bombed it and still got an offer so I'm optimistic but still a little shaken from getting rejected by G at HC. Any feedback appreciated Edit: this is the final round. They aren't doing onsites this year
Sorry I should have added: this is the final round. They are doing this instead of onsites this year
So you’ve already done first round? Final round was extremely similar for me, except i spent more time per person. One advice is don’t back down. Not sure if you hit your bar raiser yet but mine pushed me a lot. You have to show backbone in a polite way
Yes I already did OA and now this screen is the final round
Wait amazon doesnt do onsites for new grad?
They do but they are always experimenting. In my incoming wave of interviews they aren't doing onsites but it's always changing
They’re always experimenting
I have a virtual interview too. I think it does onsites for some candidates, and skips for some of them.
Nice! You get yours scheduled yet? They pushed mine back so I don't find out the date until next week haha
I have it this Thursday.
Are the virtual interviews due to their frugality principle?
Yes
You’re basically hired. It’s just like chatting from what I heard. It’s ridiculous but it’s true. That’s how we hire “talents”
Really? What's the difference between one and three?
Ohh is that it. I am not sure why there is a coding link in the interview.
OP do you mind to share your experience? What topics you have been asked? Thanks
Hey! Can you share your experience?

It's a good sign. Means the interviewer is pretty sure you will be able to pass onsite and not waste company resources.
I’m not sure about this. As far as I know, the number of interviews new grads have to do is dependent on the program they applied to. For instance I had 2 rounds but my friend has 3 but it had nothing to do with us as individuals.
What are the different programs? Afaik, there is only one generic SDE application for new grads.
