I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Singapur) in Oct 2023
Interview
1st round - hiring manager
2nd round - Final loop consisting of 5 interviews. They spread it over a number of days and it's all online via chime. They are video calls but 2 of the 5 interviewers didn't turn on their video.
There is a live SQL test (The recruiter said there wouldn't be one but there was) but there definitely was. They are all behavioural based questions based on the leadership principles.
They expect super complex examples and will ask you numerous times about your learnings and challenges from each example so be sure to know what you learnt and be able to be self critical. Also they will continue to dig really deep into your examples and ask lots of questions so make sure you can elaborate on it.
Be prepared to answer "tell me about yourself" 5 times and answer why amazon.

Interview
One of my friends referred me for this role. After a week I received an assessment in an email from a recruiter with a set of questions. I completed it on the same day and in the next week, she scheduled an hour-long phone interview with the hiring manager. He asked me three questions and numerous follow-up questions based on the answers provided.
