I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Herndon, VA) in Aug 2014
Interview
The interview process is designed on purpose to weed out those afraid to take charge and make something their own. We live by our LPs and expect a potential candidate to understand our LPs and know what they mean. Read the leadership principles or do not bother coming to the interview.

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.
