I applied online. The process took 4 months. I interviewed at Amazon (Los Angeles, CA) in June 2025
Interview
The interview process consisted of an online coding assessment, followed by several rounds of technical interviews. The questions mainly focused on data structures, algorithms, and system design. In addition to the technical part, interviewers also asked behavioral questions related to Amazon’s Leadership Principles. The overall experience was challenging but fair, and the interviewers were friendly and encouraging.

OA contained 2 coding questions and then followed by a multiple choice question on behavioral where they emphasized a lot on their leadership rules which you can find on their website
