Hi,

I had my amazon onsite for sde at seattle and it has been about 7 working days so far. I think I did well in half of the interviews, average for 1 and not so well for 1.

Still waiting and was wondering how many of you still get positive results after the standard 5 days. Most I see from blind looked negative.

    I recently had my onsite for an L6 position and at the very end of day 5 the recruiter reached out to tell me they were preparing an offer

      Exactly. I read that there was some that got positive even at 7th or 9th working day. Thanks for the info.
      Shall be optimistic about it!

      Congrat! Did you get any update from HR in the middle after the onsite?

    I had my onsite on a thursday ~2 weeks ago. Recruiter reached me the next week at 4:30 PM on Friday with an offer. Said the schedules were busy with the interviewers so they took a while to meet.

    Also, I only answered half of one of my coding questions, and gave wrong time complexities on another. I just showed good problem solving skills I guess. So there is hope!

      This was for a SDE1. My bar raiser and hiring manager were LP only. I think I killed these, so yeah. Had them laughing, wanting to cry, and staying later than they should have because we were having good conversations. I am switching careers into SDE so I had a lot of stories.

      You had good LP qualities definitely that's what they look for. Skills can always be learnt from all the vast resources online.

      Will refrain from posting links :) as I believe the recruiter is just really busy

    Amazon has a 2&5 promise to all candidates that it interviews. Basically they will communicate with you within 2 business days for phone screens and 5 business days after on-site. If this is not the case ask the recruiter about the 2&5 promise and he/she should get back to you shortly.

      The 2&5 promise is 95% of the time that they try to meet. But there could be possible work overload etc especially since career day just happened.

      Just trying to be understanding towards them. Dropped an email to my recruiter though.
