I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Amazon in Jun 2025
Interview
Pretty typical Amazonian interview. You'll get an email to conduct an Online Assessment, where they'll have you take a test on HackerRank to check your technical skill, and then 2 shorter quizzes on their site itself. You'll have a week to get it done. The technical test consisted of two questions, pretty typical for technical tests, however with the twist being that it is an "amazon" setting. 90 minutes total to complete it.
The two shorter quizzes is one, decision making at the amazon workplace, and two, the personality quiz. Just take a look at Amazon's Leadership principles and these aren't too bad.
Interview by recuriter, Phone interview over Chime with one easy Leet code problem and 2 behavioral questions. Although the interviewer was very casual at the start of the conversation, it quickly changed into behavioral questions at the start.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Encoding optimization algorithm and talk about a project you did recently.
First round is just leet code coding which screens through AI before going into live coding. Pretty simple and straighforward. Not too tough. Recruiter walks through it pretty nicely. Not sure how many rounds there are exactly
After submitting my application for the Software Engineer position, I received an invitation to complete an automated Online Assessment (OA). The assessment consisted of standard coding challenges, primarily focusing on algorithmic and data structure problems. Unfortunately, a few days after submitting my solutions for the assessment, I received an email informing me that I would not be moving forward in the interview process and was rejected.
