Amazon Advertising Software Engineer interview: video-supported online test

I started with recruiter outreach and an initial online step. The assessment used video support and examples of the reasoning and approach they wanted, so it felt less about memorization than about how I structured my thinking.

After I cleared it, I had short, focused technical interviews before the final round was scheduled. Later conversations explicitly covered networking, troubleshooting, automation, and routing. The format was question-driven: I explained my reasoning, then handled leadership-principles prompts in STAR form, especially in the later rounds.

Things moved fairly quickly after the assessment. I did not get an offer, but the process was consistent about what it evaluated: systems-oriented technical depth and structured behavioral stories. I came away thinking specific examples mattered far more in the leadership-principles discussions than general claims.

Location: Bellevue, WA. Overall feedback: Neutral. Offer status: no offer.
