I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Bengaluru) in Sep 2019
Interview
One phone screen, one written exercise, followed by 5 rounds of interviews that were originally meant to be largely held in-person but were held through video conferencing due to scheduling conflicts. All interviews were held within a 24 hour period and the process was completed extremely fast.

I applied online. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Dublin, Dublin) in Mar 2026
Interview
Very positive experience. The down side was there were 6 rounds of interviews in total but they were scheduled close together. Communication was excellent and a huge amount of helpful resources provided to you to help you prepare.
Phone interview. Asked 4 typical question. The Amazon phone interview was structured and focused on behavioral questions using the STAR method. The interviewer was professional, asking about leadership principles, past challenges, and decision-making. It felt fast-paced yet conversational. I shared clear examples from my experience, highlighted results, and ended confident I demonstrated impact and fit.

It was a long but a well designed one. There are tips online that one should go over before the interview process. It can take more than one month to complete the steps, so one should be patient while taking all the tests and other stuff.
