J'ai postulé via un recruteur. Le processus a pris 6 semaines. J'ai passé un entretien chez Amazon (Seattle, WA) en mars 2016
Entretien
Amazon's software development interviews arent the most technically difficult but they do dive into various aspects of working in a team, designing large scale, fault tolerant software.
Most interviewers and the recruiter were extremely friendly and helpful.
First was an online screening on HackerRank, followed by a phone debriefing and finally an
on site interview for 4 hours with 4 different interviewers. The onsite interviews consisted of 3 algorithm questions and a design question. Both coding and design questions were to be whiteboarded and error-free code was expected.
Before each coding or design question, there were also a series of behavioral and questions relating to past experience and design choices.
All in all, a positive experience.
Questions d'entretien [1]
Question 1
Cant mention specific questions (NDA). Would highly recommend knowing stacks, queues, dictionaries, recursion and dynamic programming.

Entretien
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
Questions d'entretien [1]
Question 1
1. Tell me about a time when you had to meet a tight deadline
2. Tell me about a time when you had to do more than what you were required to do
3. Tell me about a time where you made a significant impact on a customer
J'ai postulé via un recruteur. Le processus a pris 3 mois. J'ai passé un entretien chez Amazon (Bengaluru) en sept. 2025
Entretien
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.
