J'ai postulé en ligne. Le processus a pris 3 semaines. J'ai passé un entretien chez Amazon en mars 2017
Entretien
I was emailed an online assessment to complete - this was pretty easy, required basic programming and logic knowledge. A week later, I was emailed a second online assessment for two coding questions. These were harder, but I still was able to get my solutions to pass all but one test case. I was sent a rejection email a week and a half later. Not sure why. I didn't like the lack of human contact during this whole process - it would have been a lot more engaging if I were able to speak to a live human. I'll admit taking online exams is a little less intimidating than in person interviews, but I was also a little freaked out by the third party they were using to administer the test. They track everything you do - eye movement, browser size, webcam, microphone, everything. Understandable to prevent cheating but it was still a little uncomfortable.

Question 1
Rotate matrices 90 degrees to the left or the right depending on input
Recruiter screen, online assessment, technical interviews, and behavioral rounds focused heavily on Amazon Leadership Principles. The process was structured, with a strong emphasis on problem-solving, coding skills, and examples demonstrating impact and ownership.
Recruiter screen, followed by an online coding assessment and then a technical phone interview. The final round was a virtual onsite loop with multiple interviews covering data structures, system design, debugging, and Amazon Leadership Principles. The technical questions were practical but time-constrained, and the behavioural questions required specific examples using the STAR format.

Question 1
Design a scalable URL shortening service and explain how you would handle high read traffic, collisions, database schema, expiration, and basic monitoring.
That moment when the interviewer asked about finding indices in an array for a target sum was wild — I had just tackled something identical while prepping on PracHub. The interview included a technical round with another question about designing an in-memory LRU cache and a behavioral question about meeting tight deadlines. After a smooth discussion, I was told I'd received an offer, which I happily accepted. Overall, the process felt pretty straightforward and not overly challenging.
