Amazon Software Engineer interview experience: LP-focused OA loop

I went through an OA-style loop that focused heavily on a weakness of mine: LP. The coding questions were not my main concern because they were relatively straightforward LeetCode-style problems. The interviewers spent about half an hour on linear-programming scenarios and another half hour on coding questions in the same general LeetCode style.

That pattern came up across two rounds, so LP was not a one-off topic. The concentration surprised me. I left thinking that preparing for several linear-programming scenarios mattered as much as practicing raw coding problems.

Location: Seattle, WA. Overall feedback: positive. Offer status: no offer.
