I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Amazon (Austin, TX) in Apr 2020
Interview
4.5 hour total session consisting of 4 rounds. One of the sessions was a disaster, the others were better. On the bad session, there were language difficulties with the interviewer. Most of it was intentionally vague coding challenges plus "behavioral" questions that sometimes felt like a criminal interrogation. Despite 20+ years of experience, no one asked about my past projects.
This will likely be the last time I attempt to interview with them. It's not worth the extensive prep required, all to work at a Hunger Games-like environment. I have better things to do.
I applied online. I interviewed at Amazon (Bengaluru)
Interview
The interview process consisted of an online assessment followed by two technical interview rounds and one behavioral round. The technical rounds focused on Data Structures, Algorithms, Java, and problem-solving skills. The behavioral round covered Amazon Leadership Principles and past project experiences. The interviewers were professional and the process was well structured.
