Process
The Amazon interview process was structured and transparent, beginning with an online assessment followed by virtual technical rounds.
Interviewers focused on problem-solving, system design fundamentals, and behavioral questions based on Leadership Principles.
Communication was clear throughout, and I received timely updates from the recruiting team.
Questions
They asked questions across three rounds: one was entirely behavioral, one combined a short coding exercise with additional behavioral questions, and the final round focused on a lightweight system-design discussion.
Overall, the questions were balanced between technical depth and Amazon’s Leadership Principles.
