I applied online. I interviewed at Amazon in Apr 2021
Interview
Interview for an Associate Solutions Architect role.
Interview was hard, required way much knowledge than they tell you to prepare - they don't want you to be familiar with cloud computing in general but rather with AWS only - know every service they provide, how it works, etc.
No behavioral questions at all although they tell you to prepare (they tell you it's mostly behavioral and then it's a hard tech interview)
Not even a question about specific past experience
Very bad process, very bad experience.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Questions about Amazon computing services
Rate your knowledge
Design a complex application + followup questions.
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.

Question 1
Can you walk us through a time you solved a complex problem under tight deadlines, and how you balanced technical accuracy with speed?
