Amazon Lab126 Software Engineer interview experience

Posted Nov 2010 · Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

I went through two technical phone interviews within three days.

The first was okay, but the second one didn’t feel smooth at all—the interviewer seemed lost and had someone shadowing them.

It made the conversation awkward, and it felt like the questions were preloaded rather than being adapted based on my answers or progress. Even if the content was technical, the lack of confidence from the interviewer side distracted from my ability to show my thinking.

I didn’t get an offer. My reflection was that it wasn’t just the difficulty of the technical material—it was the interview execution that hurt the experience.
