I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Amazon in May 2022
Interview
Got an email from a recruiter for an initial phone screen, but when we finally spoke, he said the role required at least 1 year of experience, but the Job Posting explicitly stated that they were looking for someone with either a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, which I had, OR 1+ years of equivalent experience in software development. Recruiter was unprepared and highly unprofessional.
I applied online. I interviewed at Amazon in Apr 2022
Interview
The interview was a typical Amazon interview however the interviewer opted to make it a full coding interview instead of coding + behavioural questions. He kept asking to solve one coding challenge after another until the time was up.
Consisted of 3 back to back rounds with 5 minute break in between. Each round was for 45 minutes. All the rounds were coding question based. Full functional code was needed.
