I applied online. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon
Interview
Very poorly managed.
Applied online for a different position, but they emailed about this one.
I told the recruiter that I could do any day except X...
Several days later an invite for interview shows up in my inbox for day X.
Two or three times the recruiter said they would get back to me the next day, and it never showed up.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Interviewer had a development background. I have very little coding experience, and my area of expertise is security.
The questions were read from a list, and I did very well, but the interviewer didn't know that because their background didn't match mine. What's the point?
It took them several weeks to line up the interview even though I gave them many, many windows, and they couldn't get someone who matched my background. It's no wonder they have so many unfilled openings.
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.
