I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Amazon (London, England) in Nov 2019
Interview
Took easily three months to complete from the first phone call till the offer. First telephone interview was technical follwed by second one with hiring manager which was more a behavioural and request to complete an technical assessment followed by invitation to their head quarters for a face to face with 5 amazon employees. This again was mix of technical ( white board sessions and and behaviour based interviews with prime focus on Leadership principles and ability to showcase the same from your past experiences.

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.
