I applied to SDE at Amazon and am scheduled to do technical phone interview. They sent me an email instruction for coding assessment but waived it. What could be a reason for waiving coding assessment? Do more experienced candidates get coding assessment waived usually? i have 5yrs swe exp + 2 yr data analyst
They made me jump through the online and a phone screen. Be thankful you don't need to do that. 13 YOE.
It’s a bit disorganized I guess. For me they sent a coding assessment, I cleared and then they kept leadership principles phone screen. For my friend, once he cleared the coding assessment he was called onsite directly. I thought it could be due to my performance on coding assessment, but later from my friends at Amazon, I learnt that’s not the case.
Recently got into the Amazon interview loop. Got the online assessment, but was waived technical phone screen. 3yoe
Amazon recruitment can be disorganized. Few years ago I had a pH screen scheduled. But even before interview I got an email from a different team (hadn't even talked to them before) "congrats we want to bring u onsite". So I forwarded that email to the recruiter that I did talk to. She said it's fine. We will just schedule onsite. They bought ticket hotels everything and had 2 days of interviews with 2 teams. lol
