J'ai postulé en ligne. Le processus a pris 2 semaines. J'ai passé un entretien chez Amazon (Seattle, WA) en août 2011
Entretien
Applied through their web interface and received a communication from HR. Set up a time to talk where I had to be at a computer. They set up a whiteboard on which I was to post answers to their questions. Was completely unprepared; stammered, and clearly failed. The interviewer was not even paying attention, so it felt like a passthrough where the stakes were low and I just had to get those questions right. They weren't interested in anything I had to say about my experience.

Recruiter screen, online assessment, technical interviews, and behavioral rounds focused heavily on Amazon Leadership Principles. The process was structured, with a strong emphasis on problem-solving, coding skills, and examples demonstrating impact and ownership.
Recruiter screen, followed by an online coding assessment and then a technical phone interview. The final round was a virtual onsite loop with multiple interviews covering data structures, system design, debugging, and Amazon Leadership Principles. The technical questions were practical but time-constrained, and the behavioural questions required specific examples using the STAR format.

Question 1
Design a scalable URL shortening service and explain how you would handle high read traffic, collisions, database schema, expiration, and basic monitoring.
That moment when the interviewer asked about finding indices in an array for a target sum was wild — I had just tackled something identical while prepping on PracHub. The interview included a technical round with another question about designing an in-memory LRU cache and a behavioral question about meeting tight deadlines. After a smooth discussion, I was told I'd received an offer, which I happily accepted. Overall, the process felt pretty straightforward and not overly challenging.
