Entrevista
A nightmare.
I got contacted by HR for an opportunity at Amazon, I was given an online assessment, which needed to be completed in the next 2 days. Which I did.
I got a call that I cleared the Online Assessment. I will get a call for a face to face interview. After waiting 2 months, I did not receive any communication. I mailed HR asking what happened (this is not the first time when I was ghosted by HR telling you have cleared the assessment and you will get a call). They responded after a while that they will schedule in next one month.
Interviews were scheduled and I completed 3 rounds of interviews namely LLD, Coding, HLD. I was comfortable that I did well. But again for the next 2 weeks no communication from HR.
Suddenly got a call after 2 weeks and they are scheduling the bar raiser tomorrow, Be ready for an interview. Okay I followed.
Completed the bar Raiser round that went well too. 3 weeks passed, no communication, I pinged HR what happened again, they said you will have feedback by tomorrow. Then 2 more weeks passed. No communication.
I just want to ask one thing to HR and Amazon: Respect the time of other people, and have a bit of responsibility. Teach the same Leadership principles to HR which Amazon brags about in the interviews.
I have no problem with the panel. Very knowledgeable people had a great experience during the conversations with them.

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

Me postulé a través de un reclutador. El proceso tomó 3 meses. Acudí a una entrevista en Amazon (Bengaluru) en sept 2025
Entrevista
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.
