Amazon asking for 2 to 4 page write up before L6/SDE3 onsite. They provide 2 topics, pick one. Did anyone asked similar?
Onsite already scheduled. They want eassy 48hrs before interview.
My answer “If I wanted to write something other than code, I would have majored in writing.”
Weird! YoE?
15. This is for sde 3 role. Write up about what do you invented or done differently during career.
That used to be part of the MBA application process. Damn!
Why would a dev write an essay?
It is standard. Supposedly gives a chance for those that communicate better in writing to show it.
Not worth it.
It's just standard AMZN process. They want to see if you can write narratives.
wow
Standard process and not difficult.
All I can say as an HM with 10+ yoe is that your written sample is like ‘first impressions’ on steroids. A good one will make the interview easier.
Curious. Do interviewers read this before the interview? What do you mean, it will make the interview easier ?
Rofl. Now you have to write an essay to get an interview there?
