I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Ammanabole) in May 2025
Interview
The interview process at Amazon was structured and challenging. It started with an online assessment focused on data structures and algorithms, followed by two technical interviews covering problem-solving, system design, and behavioral questions rooted in Amazon’s Leadership Principles. Communication and clarity were key. The process was intense but fair, and the interviewers were professional throughout.
