My loop began with an OA HackerRank round. Within two days, I had a second round that became a workday simulation. I pretended to be an Amazon SDE and talked through decisions about issues that come up in that job. It was less about producing a lot of untested code and more about how I would handle real-world tradeoffs and choices.
The final stage was three back-to-back one-hour interviews, each with a different person. Every interview paired a LeetCode-style coding problem with a low-level system-design discussion.
The difficulty felt average. The structure made sense to me: screening, role simulation, then deeper technical conversations. I did not get an offer, but it felt like a standard process aligned with the role. The simulation is what I remember most because it made me think like the job, not only like a coder.
Location: Toronto, ON. Overall feedback: neutral. Offer status: no offer.
