I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Amazon (Houston, TX) in Aug 2020
Interview
I have interviewed with Amazon 2 times now. Each time has been a mess of confusion with no follow up. First time the lady had her crying children in the background and wasn't paying attention to anything I was saying. Second time I was asked to write to their dumb principles and poured my little heart out. Never heard back after that even after following up multiple times. Amazes me how Amazon has become a big company.

Few rounds of interview, mixed with behavioral and technical questions to showcase you knowledge of building system on aws. They also asked gen ai questions on how you would create these systems
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.
