I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (New York, NY) in Aug 2013
Interview
Recruiter called me & asked me some basic question about experience..etc He felt I was a great fit. He was very laid back in responding to emails..etc Didn't know if this was common with Amazon. Finally I had an tech interview for almost an hr. He started w some basic structure of AWS & regular job description ..etc

I felt I answered reasonably well. But I wasn't selected. :o( I was really really disappointed, but oh well..I hope there's a better offer round the corner.
It seemed like they wanted a jack of all trades. Not sure if they can find one.

Although I didn't pass the interview, I had a positive overall experience. The interview process was well organized, and the instructions were clear and informative. I appreciated the transparency throughout the process, which helped me prepare effectively for the interview.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
1. How do you engage customers and build customer relationships?
2. What do you think about AI? Do you use AI in your work?
3. Can you explain a case in which you declined a customer's request?
Few rounds of interview, mixed with behavioral and technical questions to showcase you knowledge of building system on aws. They also asked gen ai questions on how you would create these systems
I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Apr 2026
Interview
You do 4 back to back interview in 1 day. It was exhausting. Besides that really appreciated the recruiter giving out interview prep before it takes place. The good thing is there is no coding round.
