Amazon DSP Software Engineer interview experience: OA, fundamentals, and behavioral fit

I started with an online assessment that mixed coding and aptitude questions. After I cleared it, I was invited to one or two technical interviews on fundamentals: data structures, algorithms, object-oriented programming, and broader problem solving.

The final step included behavioral questions about communication, teamwork, and fit for a software development engineer track that had an intern-like structure. After the OA, the process could combine coding and behavioral interviews in different ways. One round could lean heavily toward coding, another could mix coding with behavioral questions, and some versions had a behavioral-only session.

The coding itself felt manageable. The challenge was the amount of material and the number of skills they expected in sequence, even though the process had enough structure that it did not feel chaotic. I did not receive an offer. The shift from the OA to live interviews tested whether I could use what I knew in real-time problem solving and explain fit with clear examples.

Location: United States. Overall feedback: positive. Offer status: no offer.
