I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Texas City, TX) in Jun 2024
Interview
The interview experience was challenging, and I didn’t perform as well as I hoped. I struggled to communicate my thought process clearly under pressure, and a few data-structure and algorithm questions caught me off guard. I also rushed through parts of my solutions, which led to avoidable mistakes. By the time I reached the later rounds, my confidence had slipped, and I wasn’t able to recover my pace or clarity. Overall, the process highlighted gaps in my preparation rather than my strengths.

Interview
Great interview process with three rounds, including a technical assessment and a technical interview. The interviewers were professional and supportive throughout the process. The questions mainly focused on DSA, problem-solving, and core technical concepts. The discussions were engaging and provided a good opportunity to demonstrate technical skills. Overall, the process was well-structured, smooth, transparent, and a very positive experience.
I applied online. I interviewed at Amazon (Sydney)

I can't comment much. I submitted an application for the software engineer position, and not even a minute later, I received an auto rejection email from Amazon (never received an online assessment).
