J'ai postulé en ligne. Le processus a pris 1 jour. J'ai passé un entretien chez Amazon (New York, NY) en nov. 2015
Entretien
Spoke w. manager on the phone first and then they followed up with a phone interview and then coding using screen sharing. Study hashtables and other java collections. Later I got a second chance interview, but I've decided not pursue it further.
Questions d'entretien [1]
Question 1
Medium complexity algorithm questions related to sorting and hashtables using Java. Make sure you remember all Java collections. My question was related to constructing a sorted hashtable class.

J'ai postulé via un recruteur. J'ai passé un entretien chez Amazon en févr. 2026
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]

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.
