      Average interview

      Application

      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.
