I applied online. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at Amazon (Herndon, VA) in Jan 2022
Interview
Amazon and AWS hiring treats candidates very badly. It is one of the worst places to work for work-life balance. Amazon salary is low compared to other technology companies.
1. Aced the interview
2. They referred me to another division and asked to repeat the interview. The have no concern for candidates time
3. And no response
Recommendation:
Don't waste your time with Amazon interviews

I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Apr 2026
Interview
You do 4 back to back interview in 1 day. It was exhausting. Besides that really appreciated the recruiter giving out interview prep before it takes place. The good thing is there is no coding round.
The interview process was very challenging and thorough. The questions required deep technical knowledge and problem-solving under pressure. While tough, it was fair and tested real-world skills, communication, and adaptability.
