I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Amazon (Toronto, ON) in Jun 2020
Interview
HR screening, architect 1:1, the loop interview.
Great experience interviewing with Amazon. Recruiters have an SLA to get back to you by a certain date. So you won’t be ghosted. Once you’re on the recruitment process, things move fairly quickly.
Interview can be very difficult, interviewers are trained to “peel the onion”, so they’ll want immense amount of details into the projects and solutions you propose. Make sure you look up STAR and study up Amazon’s culture principles.

It was telephonic die to the pandemic issue. I cleared my initial technical round which was taken my another architect. The second round they gave me an assignment to design an architecture of the project I had completed. I had picked the best project that we had done. I covered all aspects and the interview went well too. But even after that no feedback from them.
