Amazon Advertising Software Engineer Interview Experience: A four-part OA with AI-assisted debugging

I started with an online assessment in four parts. First was a 40-minute HackerRank coding test with standard DSA questions. Second was 60 minutes of AI-assisted coding in a project-repository environment, where I had to trace a simple bug, such as why a request was not committing to the database. The available options included Node.js, Springboot, C++, and Django.

Third came 30 minutes of workplace hypotheticals with multiple-choice responses. The last part was very short, about six minutes, where I rated how closely a statement matched my personal style.

The assessment felt difficult, and I did not receive an offer. What stood out was how different the sections were. It blended DSA practice, debugging through a codebase, and decision-making in hypothetical situations.

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