I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Amazon (Los Angeles, CA) in Mar 2022
Interview
I was referred by someone and the interviewed was scheduled within a week after the referral.
I first talked to a recruiter to go over my background, as well as a few behavioral questions, nothing challenging. Then the recruiter described the whole interview process with me. To be honest, I only took a mental note of what the next interview is about and didn't quite remember the rest, since they are so far away from now. One step at a time.
Then I had the first round of interview. It is a mixture of technical questions and behavioral questions. An example of a technical question is: what you need to ensure the reliability of xxxxx? A behavioral interview is more around how do you handle a situation with a client.
The interviewers were very nice and provided guidance along the way.
I don't know the results yet.
Few rounds of interview, mixed with behavioral and technical questions to showcase you knowledge of building system on aws. They also asked gen ai questions on how you would create these systems
I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Apr 2026
Interview
You do 4 back to back interview in 1 day. It was exhausting. Besides that really appreciated the recruiter giving out interview prep before it takes place. The good thing is there is no coding round.
The interview process was very challenging and thorough. The questions required deep technical knowledge and problem-solving under pressure. While tough, it was fair and tested real-world skills, communication, and adaptability.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Can you walk us through a time you solved a complex problem under tight deadlines, and how you balanced technical accuracy with speed?
