      I applied online. I interviewed at Amazon

      Interview

      I applied online from a link in LinkedIn. There are two coding problems that you need to solve in 90 mins. You should practice intensively to solve coding problems with medium difficulty in Leetcode/Hackerrank. It's though without proper preparation.

      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Spain, SD) in Oct 2025

      Interview

      The process went very smoothly. They are more interested in your communication and technical skills than your accent or English level. The questions are definitely professional. They are designed for learning, not rote memorization.

      Application

      I interviewed at Amazon (Sunnyvale, CA)

      Interview

      There was an OA, which wasn't bad. After the first interview, there was supposed to be a second one, but they cancelled it because the role was filled. Kind of a waste of time, but good practice
