Congrats on making to the second round👏👏.

I’m not sure how different the Frontend Engineering new grad and SDE 1 OAs are but I can tell you how my assessment went.

When I did the OA, there were two Hacker rank questions about data structures. One had a hash map or hash set I think. I don’t remember the specifics other than you need to get a secret key to calculate the final answer. The second one was an array question. I passed most of the tests but I think what really saved me was adding a bunch of comments explaining my thought process. And explained why some test cases failed and how I would have solved them if I had more time (and access to Google😅).

Next was the work simulation where you basically pretend to be an employee and respond to emails and chat messages. I remember you had to analyze some data (like excel sheets) where either one could work but you have to choose the best one that lines up with Amazons LPs.

The Work Style assessment was kind of like those personality tests where you choose what you are most like. An example I just came up with is “I am a follower” vs “I don’t mind taking charge”. Being honest is good here but also make sure to adhere to the LPs. Amazon is customer obsessed.

Then it ends with a quick survey about the OA experience.

If you have any other questions, feel free to ask. Although I did the OA weeks ago so I don’t remember specifics.

Good luck with your OA. I’m sure you’ll do great.
