      Solutions Architect Interview

      I interviewed at Amazon

      Interview

      The Amazon Interview Experience usually comprises about four to six interviews, wherein at least one interviewer is a bar raiser. Each interviewer covers a few of the 14 Amazon leadership principles so that in its entirety, the candidate is judged on each principle during the process. In addition, behavioural interview questions are asked to check if the candidate has manifested these 14 amazon leadership principles in the past. As stated earlier, these are the most important filters that Amazon uses to select candidates in the interview process. Amazon strongly believes that with the expansion rate of the company, the only way they can keep the company culture alive is by ferociously guarding their 14 leadership principles. Therefore, the candidates are expected to fulfil ‘minimum expectation’ on all 14 Amazon leadership principles and be ‘outstanding’ on at least one of them. If even one of the Bar Raisers has an objection to Amazon hiring the candidate, they can simply veto the application, and the interview process ends there.

      Application

      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.
