I applied in-person. The process took 4 days. I interviewed at Amazon (Bengaluru) in May 2010
Interview
I contacted Amazon through a job listing. And a person from Amazon contacted me over the phone after 4 days. Initially, the interview seemed very tough, but the interviewer was kind and made me feel comfortable.
At first, the job description was given and I was explained my role in the company. Then, there followed a skills test and a technical round

Question 1

It started with an OA, and then after a few weeks, I got invited to four rounds of interviews: technical and behavioral at 3 of the 4, and behavioral only at one.

Question 1
Pergunta historicas baseada nos principios de lideranca da amazon.
The whole process stretched over nearly a month, longer than I anticipated. After an initial phone screen, I faced a technical round that included a Min Stack implementation question. We discussed design considerations and thread safety, which threw me for a bit. Fortunately, I remembered a specific mock interview I practiced on PracHub that mirrored this scenario closely, making me feel more at ease. Ultimately, I received an offer, but I chose to decline due to the company culture not feeling like the right fit.
