I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon in Aug 2025
Interview
I found the entire interview process to be very structured and efficient! I had a Online Assessment, which I cleared. Next, I had a technical phone screen with one behavioral and one coding question, which I was able to clear. For the final onsites, the recruiter gave me lots of information and clarified that there will be 3 coding round and 1 system design round and gave me lots of resources to prepare, so that made me feel much more confident!
