Nice and quick, very organized. All their interviews are half behavioral/leadership principles so that can be confusing. Three coding interviews and one system design for the final round. The recruiter was helpful and feedback came back quickly.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What was a situation where you had to get to the root of a problem in an unclear situation?
I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Amazon (New York, NY) in Feb 2024
Interview
A round of 5 interviews. The whole process was very messy and unorganized, long emails with messy content with irrelevant prep info, copy-pasted with different fonts and sizes. Unresponsive and unhelpful recruiter. The hiring process felt very unprofessional and impersonal, I was surprised to encounter that at Amazon. For example, there was a virtual preparation meeting to which they provided a link, but then no one joined the meeting for 20 minutes, after which someone let all 50 participants know that they gave us the wrong link and we needed to connect to a different link. So we missed the first 20 minutes, no one apologized or made an effort to let us know what we missed. The person giving the prep talk had a heavy accent and was difficult to understand, and there was hardly any time for Q&A.

Question 1
Behavioral questions were a huge portion relative to other companies. In one interview I was asked a medium-level leetcode question that I solved easily. The final interview had a system design question that appears in interview preparation books.
