I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Amazon (New York, NY) in Nov 2020
Interview
Everyone wants to work at AWS and they only hire the best (allegedly) The interview process is quite extensive. 2-3 phone interviews. Once you make it past that, you do the "loop" I've done it twice both in person, pre-covid and virtual post covid. You have 4-5 x 45 minute interviews and then you have to give a presentation. All of this is fine but it's a lot of commitment from the candidate and they provide you with zero feedback.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Most of their questions are based around their leadership principles and need to be answered in the STAR format. One of your interviews will be a technical interview (assuming you going for a tech role) where you'll get the run of the mill questions around AWS services, IaaS, PaaS, SaaS, etc
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.
