I applied through a staffing agency. I interviewed at Amazon (Gurgaon, Haryana) in Jun 2017
Interview
I was called at Amazon office, gurgaon for position at bangalore. There were 5 rounds. Coding, manual testing, test planning, hiring manager round and bar raiser. I got the call on friday and asked me to come next day itself. Altough i was not looking for a job change, but i said yes for interview. All rounds were really very easy. Never expected such low level questions in amazon hiring. They simply don't have different set of questions for fresher or 7-8 yrs exp candidate or may be QA work is too simple at amazon. Hiring manager seemed really impressed by my current role. If you are already working at good package in product based company, then you already have a lead over candidates from service based company. I cleared 4 rounds on that day. Next week, i was called for bar raiser round. I think, the interviewer had some confusion regarding the role. All questioned asked focused on managerial skills where as profile was that of QAE-2. All questions asked did'nt had a definite answer, they were subjective to people thinking, for ex, you consider that issue is critical, but developer don't consider it critical- how would you convince him or you are releasing with some known issues, would you inform your client about known issues. They won't be asking you anything other than their fixed set of questions. I have knowledge of python, shell scripts, servers, git, maven, jenkins,jmeter, but nothing would be asked. My impression, they may give you a better package, but would certainly lower down your skill set in long term.
