I applied online. The process took 4 weeks.

Overall, the interview process was well organized and the recruiting team communicated clearly throughout. The scheduling process was generally smooth, although one interview had to be rescheduled due to an interviewer emergency. The final loop consisted of four technical interviews covering:

• Data structures and algorithms
• Object-oriented design
• System design
• Behavioral questions based on Amazon’s Leadership Principles

The interviewers were professional and respectful, and several took the time to discuss my projects and technical experience in depth. I appreciated that they adapted follow-up questions based on my answers rather than following a rigid script. The coding interviews were challenging and required writing working solutions while explaining the reasoning and trade-offs. The behavioral interview also focused heavily on concrete examples from past experiences.

Tell me about a time you had to work under a tight deadline and how you handled it.
