I applied through university. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Oct 2014
Interview
Contacted by HR after submitting my resume through my university career center. Asked if I would like to do a video interview which is a 1 way interview that is recorded using your video cam.

(4) What scripting experience do you have? (5) What database experience do you have? (6) What AWS experience do you have? (7) What customer facing experience do you have? (8) What public speaking experience do you have?

Question 1
I listed all 8 questions above, but the most difficult will be which languages can you program in and what experience do you have with AWS?
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.
The interview process was very challenging and thorough. The questions required deep technical knowledge and problem-solving under pressure. While tough, it was fair and tested real-world skills, communication, and adaptability.
