I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon in Jul 2022
Interview
Applied online, contacted by recruiter two week afterwards to set up interview online. Then recruiter called to inform me with interview details and process.
Then panel video interview after a week with peers. They will let you know after two days whether you get move forward to the loop interview. Honestly, my recruiter failed at explaining the interview process. What he described was totally different from the actual interview. Also, purely judging someone's capability with behavioral questions is just a terrible way of hiring. No wonder people say the turnover rate is really high at Amazon.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Tell me about a time you made a decision without manager's approval.
El proceso es largo, en total son en promedio 7 entrevistas, de las cuales 5 son en loop, lo que significa que estas 5 entrevistas pueden ser el mismo dia, una tras otra, de una hora cada una
Followed the same Amazon process intial meeting with a recruiter, then multiple rounds with various team members, and the hiring manager. They use the STAR method or variations to answer with the situation, the challenge you faced, then the actions you take, and the result. If you don't use that format, you will not get positive feedback from the interviewer.

Question 1
Questions around handling difficult situations or how to handle disagreements within the team were a common theme.
I applied online. I interviewed at Amazon (Los Angeles, CA) in Jan 2026
Interview
Recruiter screening friendly. Consistently great experiences with recruiters. Got HM interview but HM didn't do the interview. Guy who did lacked the background to assess my background in AI/ML. Amazon is now kicking people out of ATS for 6 months for related roles if you don't progress.
