I applied online. I interviewed at Amazon in Jan 2021
Interview
2 interviews, one phone screening and one behavioral, though both largely focused on software development technical questions. Each interview was with one other employee, in this case a sr solutions architect working in the United States. The questions largely revolved around resume details such as work experience and specific skills mentioned.

I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Apr 2026
Interview
You do 4 back to back interview in 1 day. It was exhausting. Besides that really appreciated the recruiter giving out interview prep before it takes place. The good thing is there is no coding round.
The interview process was very challenging and thorough. The questions required deep technical knowledge and problem-solving under pressure. While tough, it was fair and tested real-world skills, communication, and adaptability.
