I applied through other source. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Apr 2014
Interview
This was for AWS.
Connected with recruiter over LinkedIn.
2 phone screens - 1 technical and 1 business oriented. Questions were either very easy (Linux / Chef / Nagios stuff) or in the did not know category (AWS specifics).
Then another 4 rounds in Seattle with largely similar rounds and general questions. One technical person was a bit confrontational about technology. Other than that, it was fine.

Interview

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.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Can you walk us through a time you solved a complex problem under tight deadlines, and how you balanced technical accuracy with speed?
