Here are the most commonly searched roles for interview reports -
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Dec 2016
Interview
I was referred by a friend and got a mail from them in two weeks time. From the start, the recruiting team was poor in followups. They rescheduled twice and didn't inform me properly. Only after I repeatedly sent mail they gave me an answer. So here is the step by step process:
1. Recruiter call - Asking about my background and experience
2. Tech Interview - Few situation based questions and technical questions (be prepared to answer time and space complexity)
3. Onsite Interview (4 interviews in one day) - interviewers were amazing! question difficulty ranged from medium to hard. Most questions were on graphs. My advice is to solve all problems from leetcode. Very enlightening experience.
I applied online. The process took 5 months. I interviewed at Amazon (Vancouver, BC) in May 2024
Interview
I applied through LinkedIn with reference. As usual, I received OA with middle LeetCode questions, which were pretty hard for me. After 4 month I was asked for Screening Interview, where recruiter explained me my interview path in 15 min. I scheduled my interview, but one day before I received an email about rescheduling and I was asked to give my schedule which I did. After one week I received another email, recruiter told me that the schedule doesn't work for them and I need to give another one (which is strange because I gave the whole week with business hours from 9 am till 6 pm). As soon as I sent my new schedule, I received the email that my position was filled already. This is the end of the story.

I applied online. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Dec 2021
Interview
Answered well in both telephonic and loop rounds. But felt the panel was in a rush to select a candidate. Rather than listening to the candidate they were taking down the notes. I am sure they must have missed few important points. Few of the interviewers in the panel are neither knowledgable nor interested. Not a good experience at all. Surprised to see such dumb candidates taking interviews in amazon !
Interview was phone screen. It was a technical round and interviewer focused on issue identification and investigation. Also asked question on queue and dequeue related functions. Also few java programs using collections, data structures and algorithms.
