The interview process started with asking challenges faced in your workplace followed by a scenario where you were asked to design a app. The interviewer did not bother to introduce the team for which the position is being hired for, neither did she ask me to introduce myself, she just started. She herself was not clear about her ask and wanted to hear specific words which she had in her mind. It was clearly visible that she lacked maturity to conduct an interview and assess a candidate who is already having 20+ years of experience.

Followed the same Amazon process intial meeting with a recruiter, then multiple rounds with various team members, and the hiring manager. They use the STAR method or variations to answer with the situation, the challenge you faced, then the actions you take, and the result. If you don't use that format, you will not get positive feedback from the interviewer.

I applied online. I interviewed at Amazon (Los Angeles, CA) in Jan 2026
Interview
Recruiter screening friendly. Consistently great experiences with recruiters. Got HM interview but HM didn't do the interview. Guy who did lacked the background to assess my background in AI/ML. Amazon is now kicking people out of ATS for 6 months for related roles if you don't progress.
