Phone call with resourcing team. Watch out, they make you install Chime (their equivalent of Teams) for all communications. It’s quite cumbersome to keep checking back for updates. You also have to login using your main Amazon email account. They can see all your purchasing history haha!
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Bengaluru)
Interview
For manager and above, once the recruitment team identifies a candidate, they are scheduled for interviews. Apart from a phone round, folks will typically go through 4-6 rounds of additional interview. It will help if candidates are able to structure their responses in SBI format bringing out strengths that align with Amazon leadership principles.

Question 1
Whats the biggest challenge faced in previous role and how was it overcome.
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Amazon (Atlanta, GA) in Jul 2025
Interview
Long and drawn out, about 10 weeks from initial recruiter call to loop. Finally I was flown out to Atlanta, GA for a loop of 4 interviewers and a tour of the DC in total a 5 hour day.
Screening phase with a recruiter who explain the position and the process and answer any questions.
Interview loop with 7 interviews. Some are for soft skills and managerial capabilities, and other more technical with a use case to handle. You need also to send a writing exercise.
