Ask your recruiter You will probably be asked to solve 2-3 problems with actual code and get them to pass some test cases

Amazon cDgs64 Jan 7, 2018

Couple of coding questions and, if you pass that, a workplace simulation that has some light coding problems and subtle leadership principles questions

How difficult are the questions?

Amazon IRewOAQ123 Jan 8, 2018

For Alexa, expect hackerrank style (leetcode medium or hard)

What site? How much time for test?

Cisco NflPlayer OP Jan 8, 2018

Some link sent by the recruiter. 1.5hr test

Is this the horrible test that watches your webcam and wants you to wear a rectal thermometer to check if you're cheating?

Cisco NflPlayer OP Jan 8, 2018

I believe this is the 1.5 hour test. The mail says I need to ensure the webcam is working. Lol

I believe they want to use eye tracking. Not even joking

Uhh as of 10months ago, the only webcam use was to snap a picture of you with a state or school ID clearly visible

Hmm I got the same. I thought recruiter is not particularly interested in me so just gave me some random exercise. So Amazon replace phone screening with automated online test then?

Yes. MS occasionally does this too. I believe its meant to reduce "bias" of the interviewer. They are evaluated by a combination of automated tools and actual engineers.

That make sense

Should take you less than a third of allotted time.

Amazon L4 to 5 pr Jan 10, 2018

I joined Amazon 6 months ago with 2 years of experience. Had the webcam online 1.5 hr test. One string manipulation question and one BST question. Was flown out a few days later for a 4 hour on site before given an offer.

I would also ask the recruiter if you’re interviewing for an L4 (sde1) or an l5(sde2) role. I joined as an L4.

Hi..I have a similar test coming up. Was it leetcode hard level? Also there is a section for cultural fit. Did you also have that? I’ve read on the forums that it is based on their leadership principles etc.. thanks
