Amazon's interview process is a multi-stage journey, starting with an online application and recruiter screens, followed by phone screens and role-specific assessments or coding challenges. Candidates then typically move to a final "interview loop" of 4-6 interviews with multiple Amazon team members, which involves behavioral questions using the STAR method (Situation, Task, Action, Result) and questions related to Amazon's Leadership Principles. Technical roles also include coding problems and system design questions.
