Amazon onsite - Alexa, SDE 2
Will it be typical 4-5 round whiteboard interview with 2-3 DS and 1-2 system design and 1 software design? Or they started giving laptops to code? Also, will it be more DS/Algo heavy or tech design heavy or behavioral ? Any other tips?
I thought, LP meant Linear programming. What is wrong with me? :(
When I interviewed for another group sde II it was half tech half behavioral. And there was a architecture round. Your hr person should give you the breakdown before hand.
4 rounds of coding(whiteboarding), and one round of system design( proper large scale system design, not the oop class design thing) And for each person you meet, they will spend 15-20 mins grilling you on LPs, so make sure you prepare for these well and dont have to spend time thinking/creating stories in the interview, otherwise you wouldn’t have enough time for coding
How much interview questions' level( ds/algo level & system design) depends on specific team/division like AWS, Alexa, Marketplace?
lol i thought lp was leetcode problems..
Algorithm is whiteboard - easy level. Too much focus on LP. Read them. No laptops allowed. It's whiteboard coding. No system design for SDE2 (you might get OOP question like design a chess board, parking lot etc. but not distributed system). - 3 or 4 technical / coding + 1 behavioral. - Every round has some behavioral question like "tell me about a time you gave blowjob to a customer" etc.
Haha.. Thanks.. BTW what's "LP"? Learning potential?🤔
Mostly correct but SDE2 actually can have distributed system design questions LP is leadership principles
