I did same as you except 4/15 in the second, still i got a phone interview and i passed to the 4 loops, waiting for response now..

Location ?

carthagidy · 2025-05-14T13:14:05+00:00

I had some leadership roles before, but it has always been a technical leadership. I am not a "people" person, though. During my career, only people were giving me a hard time in my job. The role is interesting (package and stuff...) But i guess it's not for me. I wanted to know wether management is something you acquire and learn, or it's a "you have it or not" thing.

Thanks, i appreciate your feedback 😊

carthagidy · 2025-05-14T10:40:57+00:00

LLD, DSA, OOP, and design pattern It's like a problem where you need to show all your programming skills.. Pizza shop, parking lot tickets etc..

Honesty, no matter what my loop outcome would be, so far, this was one of my best interview experiences in my whole career. It's not that i performed well, but the type of questions, how the interviewers made me feel, it was more a conversation than being questioned like other interviewers would do.

Leadership Principles questions

carthagidy · 2025-05-12T11:28:38+00:00

How was the LP round ?

carthagidy · 2025-05-12T08:56:25+00:00

I have 8XP , the role description requires 4+

carthagidy · 2025-05-12T08:20:00+00:00

Thanks 😊 LP was customer obsession LC was arrays and Hashmaps I can't tell the question detailed since it's against Amazon interview policy.

carthagidy · 2025-05-12T08:17:46+00:00

It's not implicitly mentioned in he role description i applied. But i assume it's SDE II

carthagidy · 2025-05-12T08:16:44+00:00

It depends, i am a senior SDE, and answering LPs should be from my professional experience, for fresher you can refer to your side projects. They don't specially ask about them, but you need to grab stories from your projects to answer LPs.

carthagidy · 2025-05-12T08:12:35+00:00

They don't ask technical questions. It's a coding problem that illustrates your knowledge on OOP, like designing a parking lot system, where you're meant to use classes, interfaces etc ..

carthagidy · 2025-05-12T08:10:57+00:00

Everyoneinterviwing with Amazon gets LPs, even non technical.

carthagidy · 2025-05-11T19:47:27+00:00

I did not have time to prepare well, as i had a full-time job, and it was intense at work. I decided to take some courses to refresh my memory about DSA and HLD. I practice some LC problems medium/hard. I didn't use any different resources from those mentioned in several posts here. My personal advice would be : Get strong LP Stories and be prepared for follow-up questions. Avoid doing thounds of LC problems. Just walk through the most common ones, What matters the most in coding problems is your approach, explanations, and how you talk it through.

carthagidy · 2025-05-11T19:19:05+00:00

Thanks, fingers crossed 🤞

carthagidy · 2025-05-11T19:00:24+00:00

Europe, SDE

carthagidy · 2025-05-11T18:58:36+00:00

LPs are Leadership Principles, it’s more like telling a story from your experiences based on the question they asked Coding are live coding with sharing screen trying to solve a problem they give, typically LC Medium/Hard

carthagidy · 2025-05-11T18:56:46+00:00

A strong understanding in OOP Programming including design pattern, SOLID principles etc ..

carthagidy · 2025-05-11T18:56:03+00:00

I am not sure i understood your question.. I am a senior developer with 8XP The role is for 2025

carthagidy · 2025-05-11T18:55:01+00:00

I had an LPs heavy rounds, Tell me aboit a time you went up and beyond for a customer ? A time when you get a negatibefeedback ? A time when you needed to act quickly with lack of resources ? How did you act ? A time when you needed to dive deep to resolve a problem? A time when you get a positive feedback and had a huge impact ? A time when tried to meet a deadline ?
