I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Dec 2017
Interview
took a bit of time to set up the in person interview after phone screen. The first recruiter was not very responsive. It took quite a few tries to set up the phone interview. After a few around of attempts to set up the in person interviews, a new recruiter took over and was much more responsive and set up the in person interviews quickly.
Few rounds of interview, mixed with behavioral and technical questions to showcase you knowledge of building system on aws. They also asked gen ai questions on how you would create these systems
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.
