Interview
While I can't provide specific details about recent job interviews at Amazon India, I can give you a general idea of what the process typically involves. Amazon's interview process usually includes:
Application Submission: Candidates submit their resumes online, often accompanied by a cover letter.
Initial Screening: A recruiter reviews applications and may conduct a brief phone interview to assess qualifications and fit.
Technical or Role-Specific Interviews: For technical positions, candidates might undergo coding tests or problem-solving exercises. Non-technical roles could involve situational or behavioral questions.
Behavioral Interviews: Amazon places a strong emphasis on its leadership principles. Candidates are often asked to provide examples from their past experiences that demonstrate these principles.
Final Interviews: Successful candidates might have a final round with higher-level managers or team leads.
Feedback and Offer: After the interviews, candidates receive feedback, and successful candidates are extended an offer.
Preparation typically involves understanding Amazon's leadership principles, brushing up on relevant skills, and practicing common interview questions.

Interview
I got a reach out from a recruiter for a position in special project. I was interviewed by a manager, a dev, and a bar raiser. Before the interview I specifically asked if there will be OOD questions, and I was told there will be none explicitly by the recruiter. I ended up with two OOD questions and I was completely blindsided.
