I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Amazon (New York, NY) in Nov 2020
Interview
I was reached by recruiter on LinkedIn. I had call with recruiter and discussed 2 roles, I went ahead with Front End Engineer for Amazon Live. The next step was a phone interview with engineer for 1 hour. The interview started with Amazon Leadership Principle (Behavior Question) and then some theory questions on javascript and css and then programming question. I got stuck on very first behavior question since I never really had experienced that kind of situation and the recruiter wanted to know about it. By the time we reached programming question we faced some technical problems , there was hardly few minutes left and as a result he just wanted me to write the main function, which was a little difficult since it depends on other functions. So that was a little mess. I somehow explained him the logic but definitely could have done better.

I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Amazon (Bengaluru) in May 2026
Interview
I interviewed for the Front End Engineer I role at Amazon and received an offer.
The process started with an online assessment consisting of two DSA questions and one React debugging/fixing task. I was able to complete all the questions.
The first interview focused on a graph-based DSA problem, follow-up questions, resume discussion, and Amazon Leadership Principles. I initially mentioned that I was not very comfortable with graph problems, but I worked through the solution by discussing my approach and recalling DFS/BFS concepts. The round went reasonably well.
The second round was with a senior front-end engineer and was heavily focused on front-end development. We discussed Next.js, my previous projects, JavaScript, HTML, CSS, and AI-assisted development. There was also a machine coding exercise where I built components similar to Amazon product cards. This was my strongest round.
The final round was with the Hiring Manager. We briefly discussed my resume and then spent most of the interview on behavioral and Leadership Principle questions. The conversation was engaging, and I also had the opportunity to ask several questions about the team and role.
Overall, the interview process was challenging but fair. My advice is to prepare DSA fundamentals, be ready to discuss every project on your resume in depth, and spend significant time preparing Leadership Principle stories.
