The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Vancouver, BC) in Aug 2025
Interview
First is online assessment with leetcode medium question + amazon work process simulation around system design. Second round was HR round which I passed as well. And it supposed to be on-site hiring event (loop interview) in Tokyo around September-October 2025, but suddenly process got frozen (I believe, because of layoffs started in Amazon later). And I was told maybe best case they will continue first quarter of 2026.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
I do not remember clearly, just leetcode medium and system design work simulator where the emails coming to your inbox and given choices you have to go with the best route in given scenario.
Initial screening call with recruiter followed by a 1 hr hacker rank question on DSA. The final round was a panel consisting of 4 interviews ranging from technical design, more DSA and behaviour questions.

Recruiter screen. Then 2 coding interviews then onsite rounds (another coding question, then a system design question, then HM behavioral interview). System design was simpler than other companies. Coding was leetcode ish
