I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Amazon (Bengaluru) in Apr 2019
Interview
Attended in Amazon Development Centre,Bangalore.It was weekend as per my expectation many people were there. HR explained that there will be written round post for different DBA skills (oracle/myssql/postgresql separate papers) that who clears will be send to F2F interview. It was long hectic process, just for written round of 1 hr and paper check it took 3 hrs. By 1:00 they declared the name of people who havent cleared. I cleared the written test Also they mentioned that they will arrange the lunch soon. After waiting for long 2 hr finally lunch was served at 2:30 PM which was also little fried rice and gravy. After that i was interviewed at 5:00 PM. Interviewer already has the set of question prepared which he was asking. No question from my area of expertise. I didnt cleared the F2F round. I felt from all the interview process that i should never had come .Just by seeing the brand name i came for interview. Making candidates wait for such a long time without proper food is not good at all. It felt like they are organizing the interview process very first time. Good that i didnt cleared it. Office infrastructure was really good but they dont consider candidates who can be there future employee as human.
The interview was smooth. Recruiter reached out with an invitation to an online assessment, then a phone interview 1 hour and interview loop scheduled after that. It had 4 rounds
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Depends on the domain of the role. I had Networking domain, so most questions were on Linux and troubleshooting.
It was difficult , questions about os and computer network and one easy coding question , the coding question was prime number question, also asked behavioural questions which are to be answered in STAR format
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Ashburn, VA) in Sept 2025
Interview
There were 4 interview phases. The first one was personality based and generic, the following were all technical with different individuals. It was a standard interview but I’d say you get brownie points for knowing their leadership principles.
