@stark ember Congratulations! What team did you interview for? Where did you apply and did you use a referral?

stark ember
#

I just interviewed for the new grad SDE position. I don't think it was for a specific team but my offer letter says that amazon will update me on the team I will be working with two months before my start date. I got placed in Irvine but my location preferences on my application were for most of the CA offices and Seattle. I didn't use a referral.

timid locust
#

congrats also

#

was your 1x30 ONLY about OA1 and then questions for the interviewer?

stark ember
#

@timid locust

  1. no say on location. I think the application asked me for my preferences but ultimately, it's up to them where you go.
  2. yes, just OA1 and questions for the interviewer

hey @timid locust . When is your final interview? I got a mail asking me to schedule my final round today

timid locust
#

monday

rough salmon
#

ooo

#

glgl

timid locust
#

ty

rough salmon
#

any idea how long they take to schedule the final round ?

timid locust
#

im surprised they scheduled it so early since it was the first day out of a list of like 10 times like 12 time slots

#

basically 1 day

rough salmon
#

oh shit. nice

timid locust
#

it took around 10 hours

#

just checked times

rough salmon
#

u preparing anything for the 1x30 ?

#

im ultra worried that my interviewer is gonna screw me over in the 1x30

#

lol

timid locust
#

yea i feel that

#

im just gonna look at the OAs again

#

i wrote down problem descriptions after doing it

#

& remember what i did

#

i just will try to be able to explain it succinctly

rough salmon
#

yeah i have that as well.

#

fair enough

timid locust
#

and i might look at all the LPs and think of stories that exemplify them

#

so i can be prepared for behavioral questions

#

i have heard, mostly, that it's only OA review

rough salmon
#

yeah. i mean, the email doesnt mention anything about LP

timid locust
#

but i think ive seen like 2 times that there was behavioral

rough salmon
#

but i wouldnt put it past them

timid locust
#

there probably isnt but just in case

#

yea

#

for sure

#

and itd suck if that was the reason you didnt get an offer from 1x30

rough salmon
#

ye

timid locust
#

gl i hope we get it

stark ember
#

good luck @timid locust @rough salmon

rough salmon

#

Curious how did you respond when asked if you should deliver incomplete product on time or ask for extension to deliver full product

timid locust
#

i think there was a question like that on OA2 and i think i delivered the product incomplete

stark ember
#

Lol wtf??

#

Did you do OA2?

ripe barn
#

any tips for oa2?

#

im gonna take it soon

timid locust
#

just LP

ripe barn
#

is it true that to get 1x30 you need to go fast

#

?

timid locust
#

idk

rough salmon
#

alright @timid locust , lets hear it

timid locust
#

only OA questions and then questions for interviewer :o

rough salmon
#

congrats!

#

it is a bit premature but still

timid locust
#

thanks in advance if i get it

#

you never know

rough salmon
#

what did he ask you regarding the OAs

#

other than a general run through

timid locust
#

if i remembered the question
what my approach was
time complexity (idk if he would have asked space, i just said space complexity as well anyways)
potential improvements
what was difficult/easy about it

#

then at the end of the 2nd question he asked me to compare the difficulty of the two questions and how long they took

rough salmon
#

oh shit. thats awesome

#

really hope my interview goes the same way👀

timid locust
#

i hope so too gl

rough salmon
#

tyty

timid oak
#

ayo that's sick

#

got OA2 for amazon now going to do it Wednesday probably

timid locust
#

aye gl

timid oak
#

shid you waiting on final steps now right?

#

you got this homie keep us updated prayge

timid locust
#

yeee

#

will do <3

timid oak
#

Any tips for taking OA2, like how to prep for it properly and what not

timid locust
#

read LPs

#

there are 2 parts

#

i think for the second part, basically disregard what you think about the questions personally and frame them all in terms of how they express LPs

#

and to what degree they express them

timid oak
#

Hmm okok was planning on reading and revising LPs and what not, thanks shid prayge

timid locust
#

np dawg gl

fallow forge
#

anyone else doing 3x45 or all yall 1x30?

timid oak
#

not sure the ones who have done have gotten 1x30

twilit zinc
fallow forge
#

I think its more like 10-15 to explain your thought process and complexity and then 10 min for Behavioural and 5 for questions?

#

idk tho im a 3x45 pleb

timid locust
#

probs like 11 actually

#

but i went pretty fast i think, i was rehearsing my answers for a legit week

#

then asked 5m worth of questions or so and we ended early

twilit zinc
timid locust
#

yep

twilit zinc
#

oh wow

#

hope I get something similar 🙏

timid locust
#

gl dawg

#

it should be the same

#

ive heard some ppl got behavioral as well

#

so i prepped for that all day but was never asked it

stark ember
#

Like how many compile errors I got, how long everything took, what was easy/hard, etc

timid locust
timid oak
#

You both applied for Amazon US right?

stark ember
#

Yes

timid locust
#

ya

twilit zinc
timid oak
twilit zinc
#

are they actually gonna compare your answer to what actually happened during the OA?

timid locust
#

idk but i know they will at least have the question

#

they probably wont have data on how long it took you to go from 10 lines of code to 20 for example tho

#

maybe just how long the whole question took

#

idk

#

you should try and recreate what happened in ur mind as best as possible before doing the interview

#

i have no idae what they do if you dont remember something though

#

that's kind of a silly concept for a final interview, just remembering shit

twilit zinc
stark ember
#

Yeah they have the code

#

I completely forgot my first question and my interviewer pasted it in

timid locust
#

oh damn nice

#

did you get asked anyhting other than OA, creed?

stark ember
#

Nope lol

timid locust
#

ah nic

#

ee

timid oak
#

@timid locust after OA2 how long did they take to get back to you?

timid locust
#

i completed 9/15

#

then 9/17 they asked me to resend a pic of myself & student id

timid oak
#

gotcha thanks

timid locust
#

Hey guys, I have a final interview for new grad SDE1 and its 4 hours long - 1 hr per interviewer. Does anyone have tips or suggestions for it?

fallow forge
timid locust
#

^

pastel moat
#

Im new to this, where can I find the amazon tagged qs? is it in this discord?

#

and to prep for OOD, anything you would suggest?

timid locust
#

they're on leetcode, that's what one is referring to when they mention a company's tagged questions

#

for OOD, idk

pastel moat
#

Yeah, OOD is something I feel I need practice on, I only find some videos but if anyone has suggestions im open

#

Is code expected for the OOD round? Or just XML type diagrams?

timid locust
#

i've no idea, my process was pretty different

pastel moat
#

Ah ok

#

Thanks nonetheless

timid locust
#

np

#

you're interviewing for the SDE position right?

#

and you have 4 1 hour interviews?

#

i have never seen that

#

only 1x30 and 3x45

#

id maybe ask on #2022_grads and/or reddit (csmajors probs) and see if anyone else has had a similar experience

pastel moat
#

Yeah, SDE1. its quite unique.

#

Yeah, will do so
