I applied through the web portal and after a few weeks, a recruiter reached back to me and asked about my availability for the screening round. The Screening round ( conducted on Chime ) - After a few weeks, I attended the screening round in which I was supposed to make a tic tac toe game using any framework or Vanilla JS. I was able to complete the task within time and answer some questions about improvements too. The other part of the screening round was about my experience. So, I was asked questions like tell me about a time when you had a conflict with a senior colleague or tell me about a project that you are proud of. On-site ( conducted on chime ) - After I cleared the screening round, I was asked about my availability for 5 more interviews. I asked them to schedule on different days. So, I had 5 interview across 3 days. 2 of the 5 interviews were full behavioral-based questions. The remaining 3 interviews had half behavioral and half technical. The 3 technical parts were - 1. FE system design. 2. Algo and data structures around DOM manipulation. 3. Component design and implementation. Suggestions - The tech part was not highly difficult. You just need to focus on the basics. Communicate well. Ask for help when stuck. Write clean code. For the behavioral part, keep stories ready from your past experience. Use STAR format to answer and be ready to deep dive into your old projects. I found the behavioral part more difficult. Keep your cool and take it like just another interview.

I interviewed for the Front End Engineer I role at Amazon and received an offer. The process started with an online assessment consisting of two DSA questions and one React debugging/fixing task. I was able to complete all the questions. The first interview focused on a graph-based DSA problem, follow-up questions, resume discussion, and Amazon Leadership Principles. I initially mentioned that I was not very comfortable with graph problems, but I worked through the solution by discussing my approach and recalling DFS/BFS concepts. The round went reasonably well. The second round was with a senior front-end engineer and was heavily focused on front-end development. We discussed Next.js, my previous projects, JavaScript, HTML, CSS, and AI-assisted development. There was also a machine coding exercise where I built components similar to Amazon product cards. This was my strongest round. The final round was with the Hiring Manager. We briefly discussed my resume and then spent most of the interview on behavioral and Leadership Principle questions. The conversation was engaging, and I also had the opportunity to ask several questions about the team and role. Overall, the interview process was challenging but fair. My advice is to prepare DSA fundamentals, be ready to discuss every project on your resume in depth, and spend significant time preparing Leadership Principle stories.
