I applied online. I interviewed at Amazon (Dublin, Dublin) in Dec 2024
Interview
2 Online Assessments, the first was the coding one, consisted of 2 problems. First was very basic, second was a bit trickier but not too much. Second assessment was behavioural and work simulation, it was a bit tiring, but nothing too difficult.

Question 1
Game-like coding question, to compute the minimum health needed by the player to withstand several "hits" that were given in an array.
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Cape Town) in Sept 2025
Interview
I had a first phone screen, which was an hour long, had 15 minutes of Hr questions based on Leadership Principles, then 45 minutes of real-time coding problems, You need to know a bit much about DSA to be able to pass the coding challenges, you must think out loud.

Question 1
What is the difference between a binary tree and a binary search tree?
They asked basic questions about technical stuff, then another purely technical round where I was given one main coding problem, followed by 4 follow-up questions/variations based on the initial problem.
First stage was the OA and workstyles assessment. After getting through it I faced the phone screen interview and I didn't get through it. The coding question was a pretty standard product categorisation coding problem
