I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Amazon in Mar 2025
Interview
Received an OA, invited to a virtual full-loop interview (4 rounds, 50 mins each).
The experience was disappointing and unprofessional. Most of the interviewers came across as rude and unwelcoming. Two out of the four actually laughed at my explanations during the technical and behavioral discussions, which was shocking and disheartening. This is especially surprising given that I have 5 years of experience developing enterprise applications and have been through numerous interviews before.
I understand that interviews are meant to be challenging, but there’s a clear line between assessing a candidate’s skills and being disrespectful. The lack of professionalism from the interviewers has left me questioning the company’s culture and values.
I applied through a staffing agency. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in May 2026
Interview
There were a total of 2 rounds:
The first round was with an SDE II on Data Structures/Algo - Leet code questions mainly
The second rounds was with an SDM Behavioral/System Design - Leadership principles and past work experience impact.
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Amazon in Feb 2026
Interview
Recruiter explicitly mentioned that the Technical Phone Screen interview did not contain any Behavioral question but the interviewer definitely asked 3 behavioral questions.
The coding problem was utterly garbage, it was a pretty trivial problem that anyone that knows DFS would be able to solve. That is not appropriate for a SDE 2 role. Not even useful to demonstrate candidate skills
PS: They care a lot more about what you've accomplished than whatever you can accomplish based on your skills
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
1. Tell me about a time when you had to meet a tight deadline

I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Amazon (Bengaluru) in Sep 2025
Interview
5 rounds of interviews
1. OA (2 Medium Hard Questions along with some Work Related Assessment which tested design related concepts)
2. HLD
3. DSA
4. LLD
5. Bar Raiser
Technically, the questions were of medium difficulty and with good polish, you should be able to solve these questions. The main challenge in Amazon is of the Leadership Principles which involve citing real work experience in the STAR format.
