I applied online. The process took 4 months. I interviewed at Amazon (Los Angeles, CA) in Jun 2025
Interview
The interview process consisted of an online coding assessment, followed by several rounds of technical interviews. The questions mainly focused on data structures, algorithms, and system design. In addition to the technical part, interviewers also asked behavioral questions related to Amazon’s Leadership Principles. The overall experience was challenging but fair, and the interviewers were friendly and encouraging.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
One of the main questions they asked was to solve a coding problem involving arrays and hash maps. I was asked to explain my thought process, optimize the solution, and discuss time and space complexity.
That moment when the interviewer asked about finding indices in an array for a target sum was wild — I had just tackled something identical while prepping on PracHub. The interview included a technical round with another question about designing an in-memory LRU cache and a behavioral question about meeting tight deadlines. After a smooth discussion, I was told I'd received an offer, which I happily accepted. Overall, the process felt pretty straightforward and not overly challenging.

Interviewed for silicon team. Have only been asked about the domain specific knowledge in 1st round and system design in 2nd round and C coding in 3rd round.
The interviews were 50 mins each.
First round with hr screening - 2 leetcode questions then hr manager screening then the loop which consists of 4 interviews each an hour long. The 4 interview questions they asked where three medium leetcode questions. And one system design interview question about how to shadow deploy a test software to millions of users.
