My experience differed from most because I was selected for interviews during the holiday season, resulting in a large gap between them. However, I believe the process remained the same.

There were a total of five interviews, each roughly an hour long.

• The first was with an engineer to determine if I would move forward.
• After advancing to the next stage, there was a call with a recruiter who explained what would happen next and what to prepare.
• Finally, there were four back-to-back interviews with three engineers and a hiring manager.

All engineering interviews included a live coding session where I was given a problem to solve.

After it was all done, I had to wait approximately 2-3 days for the team to meet and make their decision.

The interview with the hiring manager consisted of strictly behavioral questions. These questions ask "Can you tell me about a time when..." or "How did you...." There were about 4-6 of these questions, one after another, not necessarily building off of each other. Amazon has leadership principles they value, so they base the questions off of those.

The interviews with the engineers were all the same. They asked one question about you and something you've worked on, one question based on those leadership principles, and then the technical question. Depending on how long you talk about the first two questions, you might only have 30-45 minutes to work through the coding problem.
