Here are the most commonly searched roles for interview reports -
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Amazon (Bengaluru)
Interview
A recruiter sent my resume, without informing me.
Received a phone call from amazon to setup the interview.
First round - Telephonic
Next 5 Face to face round - on a single day at their office.
They will also send you a problem scenario via email, which you must respond in a document form. Essentially it will have a generic high level scenario like - tell us the time when you were faced with so n so situation, and how did you handle it.. that kind.
All 5 rounds (45 means each) were exactly same.
This was really odd part - and gave a v poor impression of their templated hiring process.
Every interviewer will come with a laptop, with same script in front of him/her. They will read questions from that script, and start noting down some stuff as you keep answering. You will get an impression that they are not listening, just busy noting down some stuff.
While the HR was OK, some interviewers were quite condescending.
All interviewers seemed to be non-technical.
The focus of the interview is mainly on these lines:
Why did you do that? Who made that decision? Were you involved? What if your decision was not right? In retrospect do you think it was the right decision? What could you have done differently? Single biggest achievement? Single biggest setback?
You keep getting same exact same set of questions from all interviewers. Its repetitive.

Question 1
What could you have done differently in your project?
Overall the communication started out strong from the recruiter but then I did not hear anything regarding the interview scheduling. Apparently I was too late into the process after all, and did not get an interview.
My interview process began with an online assessment, followed by a panel loop of five consecutive interviews. The rounds focused heavily on the company's Leadership Principles using STAR-method behavioral questions, including a "Bar Raiser" to ensure candidates exceed the current team's average.

Question 1
All the questions were related to my previous experience.
I applied online. I interviewed at Amazon (Brisbane) in May 2026
Interview
I applied online. After about a week or two, a recruiter from Amazon phoned me and we spoke for about 45 minutes. He was very pleasant to speak to, we covered some basics around the role and its expectations, and he laid out the next steps in the interview process, including the STAR method. The second step was a line manager interview where he focused on details of past projects and lessons / outcomes. The next step (which I didn't make it to) would have consisted of several interviewers asking different types of questions, and at this stage you don't need to satisfy each interviewer. I presume after this they give you a result. Much of what is documented online aligns with my experiences.

Question 1
Tell me about a time where you had to resolve conflict.
