I applied online. I interviewed at Amazon (Bellevue, WA) in Jan 2025
Interview
OA followed by first and final round, which is a virtual one-hour interview with 2-3 leadership principles and 2 LC questions
for summer 2026, the process has been changed to OA followed by technical interview followed by HM interview (AKA team-matching; could be more than one if not matched from first interview)
I received an Online Assessment (OA) invitation from Amazon. The assessment consisted of two coding questions of medium to hard difficulty, focusing on data structures, algorithms, and problem-solving skills. The questions required efficient solutions with optimized time and space complexity. After the OA, shortlisted candidates typically proceed to one or more technical interview rounds covering coding, system design, and behavioral questions based on Amazon's Leadership Principles.
Applied online via career site, received OA link within 2 days and cleared it, Round 1- DSA, Round-2 DSA, Round 3- System Design, Round 4- Mixed Technical Discussion and Behavioral.
