I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Feb 2015
Interview
Five individual interviews, each more interested in assessing whether or not I'll "fit in" with the group than whether I have the chops. Online technical interview before in-person interviews basically already flagged you for having the skills they think they want. In my case, I was recruited and then assigned to a job where they thought I would be most useful, but they didn't really want me -- they wanted a duplicate of one of the other cogs.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
They don't have specific questions. They do, however, have "leadership principles" for which they are assessing you, usually one per interviewer. By the time you get to the in-person interview, realize that it's more psychoanalysis than technical prowess.
It started with an OA, and then after a few weeks, I got invited to four rounds of interviews: technical and behavioral at 3 of the 4, and behavioral only at one.
I applied online. I interviewed at Amazon (São Paulo, São Paulo) in June 2026

Empresa extremamente clara sobre o que é pedido na entrevista e isso me mostra a seriedade. Minha experiencia foi positiva e tente se atentar a resolver o problema e não somente decorar padrões do leetcode.

I applied online. I interviewed at Amazon (Calgary, AB) in June 2026
Interview
Online Assessment is the first step in the process. I didn’t have an HR phone screening and went straight to the OA after applying. It was sent to me about a week after I submitted my application.

Question 1
The first question is LeetCode style algorithms question, and the second question gives a full stack repo (choice of Java, NodeJS, or Django) and asks to solve a backend issue which is causing a bug in the frontend. Unit tests must pass to pass the second question. You can run both backend/frontend indivdually or together
