I applied through a recruiter. The process took 6 months. I interviewed at Amazon (Redmond, WA) in Apr 2025
Interview
Unorganized and chaotic- couldn’t help but think the environment would be similar. I was asked the exact same questions 3-4 times by different interviewers. In my experience, the HM should prep interviewers with the LPs they are supposed to focus on. Not sure where the breakdown was, but they were all asking questions on the same LPs. When answering, a couple of the interviewers seemingly weren’t listening to my answers and had to repeat myself multiple times. It was the most bizarre interview experience! Not to mention, HR set it up and then changed the date multiple times.
HR is very helpful. He provided me tons of documentations to prep the interview which includes types of questions. They also provide example questions and answers. The HR spent two calls to guide me through the interview process and how to prep the interview.
Normal 5 loop interview. No surprises. No coding interview. Nothing out of the ordinary. All remote. Very helpful recruiter. Hiring Manager interview was a bit odd, but maybe I was tired
Phone screening by HR. Regular tell me about yourself question, and emphasis on being technical as a must. There will be quite a few rounds of interview, and the first one will contain a system design validating your technical skills.
