I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Nov 2024
Interview
First, I had an online assessment — coding questions under time pressure. Then a recruiter call explained the next steps. After that, four intense virtual interviews back-to-back (coding, system design, behavioral "Amazon Leadership Principles"). It felt challenging but fair, and very structured throughout.

Question 1
One question I clearly remember was: “Tell me about a time you disagreed with a teammate — how did you handle it?” They really cared about how I stayed calm, listened, and worked toward a solution, not just about who was right.
Phone screen was on coderpad, they asked some roman literal to num question, it was fairly easy to do, and the interviewer also gave lots of hints, which were fairly useful.
The Amazon interview process typically includes an online assessment, one or more phone interviews, and an onsite loop with multiple rounds focusing on technical skills, leadership principles, and problem-solving abilities.
