My interview process for a Quality Control Engineer role at Amazon started with a recruiter phone screen. During this screen, I discussed my background, experience, and how I aligned with Amazon's Leadership Principles.

Next, I had a technical phone interview. Here, I was tested on quality assurance methodologies, defect management, automation frameworks, and coding skills (if required for the role).

After passing that stage, I was invited for an onsite interview. This consisted of multiple rounds with hiring managers and team members. These interviews focused on testing strategies, problem-solving skills, automation knowledge, and behavioral questions based on my past experiences.

One of the final rounds was a Bar Raiser interview, designed to evaluate my cultural fit and Amazon's high hiring standards.

The process was thorough and challenging, ensuring that I had the technical expertise, analytical thinking, and problem-solving skills Amazon looks for in a Quality Control Engineer.

Can you describe a time when you identified a critical defect in a product or process?

How did you handle it, and what was the outcome?
