I applied online. I interviewed at Amazon (New York, NY) in Mar 2023
Interview
Application and Resume Review: The process usually begins with submitting an application and resume. HR or hiring managers review the applications to shortlist candidates based on their qualifications and experience. Phone/Screening Interview: Shortlisted candidates often undergo a phone or screening interview. This initial interview is typically conducted by HR or a recruiter to assess the candidate's suitability for the role, discuss their background, and verify basic qualifications. In-person/Video Interview: Candidates who pass the screening interview are invited for an in-person or video interview with the hiring manager or a panel of interviewers. This interview delves deeper into the candidate's skills, experiences, and suitability for the role. It may include behavioral questions, technical questions, and situational scenarios.

It's essential to prepare for the interview by researching the company, understanding the job requirements, and practicing your responses to common questions.

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.
