I applied through other source. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Hyderabad) in Nov 2013
Interview
TELEPHONIC ROUND:
1 hour. Asked few questions about background. 1 algo question which I had to code online on a website. The interviewer could see my code as I was typing it.
FIRST F2F round in DELHI:
Amazon Hyd guys came over to delhi. Had 3 F2F rounds. All were DS/algo question + I had to code the solution. First and third round went really well. second round wasn't good.
HYDERABAD ROUNDS:
2 further F2F rounds in Hyderabad. First round asking a lot about my past work. My accomplishments / failures / challenges et al. And then 1 question about arrays.
Last round was design round.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Questions covered BST, Arrays, Stacks et al. The interviewer also interested in breaking my code and how would I test my code.
Wasn't too sure what the interviewer wanted out of the design question.
I applied through a staffing agency. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in May 2026
Interview
There were a total of 2 rounds:
The first round was with an SDE II on Data Structures/Algo - Leet code questions mainly
The second rounds was with an SDM Behavioral/System Design - Leadership principles and past work experience impact.
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Amazon in Feb 2026
Interview
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
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
1. Tell me about a time when you had to meet a tight deadline
2. Tell me about a time when you had to do more than what you were required to do
3. Tell me about a time where you made a significant impact on a customer
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Amazon (Bengaluru) in Sep 2025
Interview
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.
