I applied online. I interviewed at Amazon (Tel Aviv-Yafo)
Interview
Amazon's home assignment test involves receiving a coding or case study assignment, completing it independently within a specified deadline (usually a few days), and submitting it for team review. I got an answer after 2 days
Had a screening from recruiter, then a follow up phone interview.
Had been asked to take an assessment and I flunked it.
I had hard time managing the time in 45 min window.
Straightforward interview process with clear communication. The interviewers asked about my background, relevant experience, technical skills, and how I would handle common workplace situations. Overall, it felt professional and organized.
