Process

Amazon interview process review, 3/5 stars:

Went through several rounds:

  • A recruiter screen
  • A technical interview
  • A few more rounds after that

The process was fairly standard for a large tech company. Communication from the recruiter was decent overall, though there were a couple of points where things felt a bit slow.

The interviewers were professional and asked a mix of technical and behavioral questions, including some based on Amazon's leadership principles. The whole process took a few weeks from start to finish.

Overall it was a reasonable experience, similar to what I've heard from other big tech companies.
