It started with an OA, and then after a few weeks, I got invited to four rounds of interviews: technical and behavioral at 3 of the 4, and behavioral only at one.
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon in Jul 2025
Interview
OA: not Leetcode questions but difficulty equivalent to a Leetcode easy and a medium (70 mins). Next was a workstyles assessment (15 mins) then a work simulation (60 mins).
Interview Loop (3 interviews, see questions section for questions)
1. All behavioural questions.
2. Half behavioural, half technical (LLD).
3. All technical (coding).
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Interview 1
1. Tell me about a time when you had a complex problem.
2. Tell me about a time when you had a conflict with a manager or team member.
3. Tell me about a time when your manager challenged you to think differently.
4. Tell me about a time when you disagreed with your team member or manager.
Interview 2
1. Tell me about a time when you were able to deliver a project under a tight deadline.
2. Tell me about a time when you did something out of your comfort zone.
LLD: search for files by name, file extension, etc. how would you make it dynamic to account for many types of filtering? basically like a custom ls command.
Interview 3
Implement MinStack (from Leetcode, Leetcode medium)
Um teste de código online, se aprovado, vai para o loop. O loop é 4 entrevistas seguidas, duas em inglês e duas em português. 3 entrevistas técnicas de código, todas as 4 têm pergunta de liderança.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Pergunta historicas baseada nos principios de lideranca da amazon.
The whole process stretched over nearly a month, longer than I anticipated. After an initial phone screen, I faced a technical round that included a Min Stack implementation question. We discussed design considerations and thread safety, which threw me for a bit. Fortunately, I remembered a specific mock interview I practiced on PracHub that mirrored this scenario closely, making me feel more at ease. Ultimately, I received an offer, but I chose to decline due to the company culture not feeling like the right fit.
