The Online assessment contains two parts: 1. Coding assessment and 2. SDE Work Simulation and Workstyles Assessments. The difficulty of the coding test was moderate. For the second part of online assessment, the work simulation was a little trickier, which needs to consider various real-life scenarios. Overall the online assessment was neutral.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Work simulation online, coding test and workstyle assessment.
I applied online. I interviewed at Amazon (Madrid) in Apr 2021
Interview
I was contacted about 1 week after applying on the website and received the online assessment.
The online assessment is divided in 3 parts, a debugging challenge (easy), a coding challenge with 2 questions (medium), and a behavioural work simulation.
After this, I was contacted for an online interview. The interview was scheduled for the following week, and it consisted of 3 1 hour interviews.
Each interview consisted half of behavioural questions - the type where you have to bring an example using the STAR method - and half of a coding session with the interviewers.
The interviewers were very nice and helpful during the interview and made me feel at ease.
I received an offer 2 working days after the interview.

3 interviews back-to-back, each asked behavioral questions and technical questions. Each interview took approximately 1 hour, half the time being spent on behavioral questions and the other half on technical questions.
