Prime Video Software Engineer interview: online assignment and medium coding question

My process began with a straightforward online assignment. After a wait, I was invited to one additional round. That round combined a LeetCode-style medium coding question with a short behavioral section. It felt balanced: I had to solve the problem and talk through my experience and behavioral instincts in the same session. Location: Culver City, CA. Overall feedback: positive. Offer status: got…

Prime Video Software Engineer interview: LRU cache and eviction

My first real screen ran longer than expected and went deep into implementation. I was asked to design an LRU cache using a hashmap and doubly linked list while keeping eviction correct. The interviewer was direct and kept probing my approach, especially the eviction behavior and the reasoning behind it. The rest of the process added more technical depth along with behavioral interviews connected…

Prime Video Software Engineer Interview Experience: broad fundamentals and leadership themes

The process had a looping structure. It began with an online assessment, then moved through data structures and algorithms, basic OOP and DBMS concepts, and Amazon leadership principles. There was also an HR interview and a low-level design component, so the process covered a broad mix rather than one narrow subject. I learned about the steps as things progressed. The leadership-principle part st…

Prime Video Software Engineer Interview Experience: high-pressure coding and design rounds

I began with a LeetCode-style coding round and solved two DSA problems, one medium and one hard. I had to explain my thinking, cover edge cases, and give time and space complexity. The interviewer kept asking about alternative approaches and the trade-offs behind them. Next came system design. I worked through a problem resembling a scaled Amazon-style service and discussed API design, data model…

Prime Video Software Engineer Interview Experience: leadership, coding, and system design

After applying, I completed an online assessment and then spoke with a recruiter. About a week later, I entered an onsite loop. From the assessment through the final decision, the process took roughly a few months. The loop had multiple back-to-back rounds in one day, mixing technical and behavioral evaluation. Early on, the bar raiser focused on Amazon-style leadership principles. I used STAR-st…

Prime Video Network Engineer Interview Experience: opaque online tasks without an offer

After applying, I went through something that did not resemble a traditional interview. I was told I would be "successful" after completing a set of tasks, but the process mostly involved online work, watching videos, and answering questions. There was no clear, standard interview to prepare for in the usual way. Feedback itself came fairly quickly. A few days later, I got an email saying I had b…

Prime Video Software Engineer interview: DSA screening and technical loop

The Prime Video process opened with a conversation about my resume and experience, then moved immediately into technical work. The first serious step covered mid-to-hard DSA: dynamic programming, matrix-related problems, and graph questions. They wanted to hear the approach I planned to take before I started. The screening and loop followed what felt like a standard order. The phone interview was…

What are interview experiences?

An interview experience is a candidate's own account of a hiring loop — not a question bank entry. It tells you the shape of the process: how many rounds there were, what each round actually tested, how long the gaps between them ran, and what the recruiter said at the end. That context is the part a question list cannot give you.

How to read them

Weight recent write-ups more heavily — interview loops change, often within a year. Read several for the same company and role rather than one: a single account tells you what one interviewer asked, while five tell you what the bar is. Note the outcome badge too, since a rejection write-up usually explains the gap far more precisely than an offer one.
