J'ai postulé via un recruteur. Le processus a pris 3 semaines. J'ai passé un entretien chez Amazon Web Services (Seattle, WA) en juin 2024
Entretien
I had one assessment which was ridiculous.
Containing 2 questions which both were hard and some system design questions that explained a situation and you had to choose an answer.
Then, I moved to onsite, and there were 4 to 5 1-hour interviews. Half of each interview were leadership principle and rest was either coding (3 or 4) or system design ( 1 question).
I did very well on codings, but not good on the system design. I am not sure how well I did on LP. Codings were pretty simple, and the LP were not as scary as I assumed. It was typical behavioral questions that you get in other companies.
The worth part about the interview process was how much the recruiter called me or emailed me before the interview and checking if I am ready for the interview :) . They usually called without previous notice and seemed pretty stressed and in a rush. My interactions with the recruiter itself made me uninterested in the company :)

Initial Application: You submit your resume directly to the Amazon University Talent Acquisition portal.Online Assessment (OA): Shortlisted candidates complete a 90-minute online assessment. It includes one to two data structures and algorithms (DSA) coding questions, multiple-choice questions on CS fundamentals, and an assessment of your alignment with Amazon's Leadership Principles.Technical Interview: Passing the OA leads to a 1-hour virtual interview. You will write code, explain your thought process, and answer behavioral questions using the STAR method (Situation, Task, Action, Result).
The process consisted of one long homework assignment as the initial screening. Once passed, I was invited to a single interview day divided into two rounds:
Round 1: Conducted by two interviewers.
Round 2: Conducted by a Senior Developer.
Both rounds followed a similar format, each including 2 behavioral/personal questions followed by 1 coding/technical question.

Stage 1 — Application
You apply through the Amazon Careers portal (AWS roles route through Amazon University Talent Acquisition for new grads). New grad postings tend to open in waves, with a lot of activity in fall and again in winter/spring.Stage 2 — Online Assessment (OA)
Within 1–2 weeks of applying, you'll typically get an OA link with a few days to complete it. It usually has two parts: two coding problems (often one easy + one medium, leetcode-style, focused on data structures and algorithms), followed by a work simulation / work-style assessment where you respond to email-style scenarios that probe how you'd handle real workplace situations against Amazon's Leadership Principles.Stage 3 — Phone screen (sometimes)
Some candidates report a single technical phone screen between the OA and the final loop, but many go directly from OA to the virtual onsite.Stage 4 — Virtual Onsite ("the Loop")
This is the main event: typically 2–3 back-to-back interviews, each 45–60 minutes. Each round generally follows the same pattern — roughly half behavioral, half technical:
