I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (New York, NY) in Mar 2018
Interview
1. Recruiter phone call with some scaling technical questions
2. Phone interview nearly 2hrs of in depth technical questions
3. 6hrs in person interview with 1hr technical presentations and 4 or 5 one on ones. These were all behavioral questions with a focus on the Amazon leadership principles
Look through Glassdoor to get a sense of the technical questions they will ask.

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.
