Medium technical problem that could be solved within time. I wish there were more behavioral questions but interviewer provided only technical problems. The interviewer didn't seem interested in going over resume or my particular skill, which led to providing non-tailored technical problems.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Cupertino, CA) in May 2025
Interview
This interview was at Annnapurna Labs, an early-career type role. The process & interviewers were good. I was asked multiple questions on data transfer from external to host devices, and the final rounds were more of LLD design and DSA
Recruiter call, online coding assessment, online interview, in person interview. Incompetent recruiter told me that the interview was going to be about embedded coding but it was actually system design.
The entire process went smoothly, starting with the initial recruiter phone call and followed by a technical interview with a software engineer. The technical discussion was heavily focused on embedded‑systems concepts, particularly bit manipulation, bitwise operations, and low‑level programming fundamentals.
