I received HR email with general questions and an online assessment with two medium to hard level Leetcode style questions but with extremely complex description to complete within 90 mins.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon in Mar 2025
Interview
- Tech Screen: Automated HackerRank problems
- Unsettling chat with internal recruiter, who seemed to have access to extensive personal data, which he pretended to have gained simply through my interview. It seemed like he may have been drawing upon conversations at other companies from long ago, possibly deleted social media accounts, and other sources.
- Virtual Onsite: Instead of a single round with a manager asking all the "behavioral" questions, every round started with multiple "behavioral" questions of the most confrontational, negative variety, until only 15-20 minutes remained, at which point they switched gears and asked a hard or medium LeetCode question or architectural design problem. The manager actually seemed nice, and asked reasonable questions by comparison, but then was very evasive about divulging any information about the team that I could use to determine if I would like to work with them.
