I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Amazon (Hyderabad) in Dec 2020
Interview
A nightmare.
I got contacted by HR for an opportunity at Amazon, I was given an online assessment, which needed to be completed in the next 2 days. Which I did.
I got a call that I cleared the Online Assessment. I will get a call for a face to face interview. After waiting 2 months, I did not receive any communication. I mailed HR asking what happened (this is not the first time when I was ghosted by HR telling you have cleared the assessment and you will get a call). They responded after a while that they will schedule in next one month.
Interviews were scheduled and I completed 3 rounds of interviews namely LLD, Coding, HLD. I was comfortable that I did well. But again for the next 2 weeks no communication from HR.
Suddenly got a call after 2 weeks and they are scheduling the bar raiser tomorrow, Be ready for an interview. Okay I followed.
Completed the bar Raiser round that went well too. 3 weeks passed, no communication, I pinged HR what happened again, they said you will have feedback by tomorrow. Then 2 more weeks passed. No communication.
I just want to ask one thing to HR and Amazon: Respect the time of other people, and have a bit of responsibility. Teach the same Leadership principles to HR which Amazon brags about in the interviews.
I have no problem with the panel. Very knowledgeable people had a great experience during the conversations with them.

I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Amazon (San Francisco, CA) in Jan 2021
Interview
First round: phone screening (25 min LP, 30 min code exercise, 5 min "do you have questions for me ?") Second round: virtual onsite, 5 one-hour interviews with 1 hour break after the 3rd interview. They are the same structure as the phone screening except the interview with PR. PR didn't do code exercise with me

Question 1
PR behavioral questions. They take this very seriously. you must spend at least 10 hours digging out worklog, past projects, search all possible LP questions online and map them to your projects/event.
