I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Amazon Web Services (Sydney) in Jun 2025
Interview
Process was surprisingly easier than I thought it would be. OA was quite long as there was a 1 hour coding section plus work style and work sample simulation sections.
Got invited to two interviews, both were 1 hour with the following structure:
25-30 mins LP questions (typically 2 main situational questions with many follow up questions)
20-25 mins for 1 coding problem
2-10 mins for questions for the interviewer
Interviewers were all very nice and helped when needed.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Tell me about a time where you faced a fast approaching deadline. How did you approach it? What did you overcome? What was the result?
I interviewed at Amazon Web Services (Vancouver, BC)
Interview
Got an interview after an OA. Interview consisted of 1 round of 1 hour BQ and TQ with manager and 1 hour of BQ and TQ with engineers. Got an answer the day after. TQ consisted of medium Leetcode quesitons and BQ consisted of typical "Tell me about a time.."
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
BQ: Tell me about a time you had an argument with yout teammate, how did you resolve it?
TQ: Find longest unique substring
I interviewed at Amazon Web Services (Johannesburg)
Interview
The interview was quite technical. Leet code questions, 2 medium and 1 hard. Master your data structures and algorithms!!!! Study your complexity analysis also, optimise your solutions to the minimal runtime.
I applied online. I interviewed at Amazon Web Services (Seattle, WA) in Mar 2026
Interview
The first round was with the hiring manager. It started with about 20 minutes of behavioral questions, mainly about my experience with generative AI. Then I had a coding question about building a search system.
The second round was with a software engineer and a shadow interviewer. Similar to the first round, it started with about 20–25 minutes of behavioral questions, mainly about my experience handling conflict. Then I had a coding question about LRU cache.
