I applied through a recruiter. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon in Jan 2022
Interview
Several interview rounds; recruiter reached out to me and set up a phone call followed by a zoom conversation and hiring manager interview prep session. Hiring manager interview focused on STAR format Q&A focused on Amazon’s principles; follow up was 2-3 weeks later to inform me timing was poor and the position had been taken, but that I should try for other divisions and would only have to do the long interview of several people over 2-4 hours instead of repeating a hiring manager interview/screening. Never heard back after (even with me following up).
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Give an example of a difficult situation where you took ownership.
Applied, Recruiter Screen then nothing. Not sure when I'll get a call back. The process seems super complicated. Will apply again now that I know what they are looking for.
HR Screening was scheduled. Then 1 technical screening phone interview was scheduled, followed by two Behavioral interviews, followed by two System design interviews, followed by 1 bar raiser interview. Lastly there was an offer.
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Nov 2025
