Application
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Chicago, IL) in Jun 2025
Interview
Amazon interviews consist of two types of questions:
1) Behavioral Questions based on the Amazon Leadership Principles (LPs)
2) Technical and Functional Questions based on the qualifications of the job.

Question 1
You are given a list of dictionaries, where each dictionary represents a product with keys 'product_id', 'product_name', and 'price'.
The recruiter set up the first round phone screening, and it took us three weeks to finally find a time. Though the interviewer didn't show up during the scheduled time, and the recruiter kept ghosting me without any updates. It looks like the position has been filled, but they gave no respect on the candidates who are still in the interview process. It's the worst interview experience I've ever had.
