I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon Web Services in Aug 2024
Interview
Very intense. Alot of support and preparation guides are offered though from recruiters. First interview is one hour where they ask work based scenarios to figure out which of their leadership principles you possess. Then live coding. Strong DSA and time complexity knowledge and practice are required. Next is a 5 interview day with more work based scenario questions and live coding. Expect to encounter a bar raiser as well.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Tell me about a time you were faced with a tight deadline.
It was okay. Took the whole day but they really communicated everything WELL. It was a design question, coding problems after coding problems then the merge sort or tree traversal question.
I interviewed at Amazon Web Services (Seattle, WA)
Interview
It tested highly on system design, understanding of infrastructure, distributed systems, and data structures and algorithms. Make sure to study LeetCode and make sure you know your system design. Thanks so much.

Question 1
LeetCode question about arrays and hashing (medium - hard)
I interviewed at Amazon Web Services (Dublin, Dublin)
Interview
Behavioral questions, asked to tell about how team disagree with me and we handled that. After that coding question: Balanced brackets. Given stream of chars, tell whether it is balanced or not (each opened bracket should be closed). As follow up, asked how to extend code to support other symbols.
