I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Amazon in Feb 2025
Interview
There were three coding interviews, each with one coding problem. I solved all the problems on time except for the last one, as I was only given 15 minutes. The rest of the time was spent by the interviewer asking behavioral questions. Later, I was rejected because of this.
I also received an email asking for my preferred work location, but a couple of days later I received a rejection. When I inquired about this, I was told that the email had been sent by mistake. This was highly unprofessional for such a large company.
Interviewed with the company total of 4 rounds, 3 rounds are mix of behavior questions and coding questions, also asked about ood. One round was pure behavior questions with deep dive to the resume experience.
