I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Bengaluru) in Feb 2025
Interview
The process started with an online coding assessment consisting of two LeetCode-style DSA problems, both of medium difficulty. The next two rounds were virtual interviews with engineers, each focusing on data structures and algorithms as well. In these rounds, I was asked to explain my thought process while solving — clarity and approach mattered as much as getting the correct solution.
The final (third) round included more behavioral and resume-based questions, where I was asked to elaborate on specific challenges I’d handled in past roles and describe how I approached problem-solving in real scenarios.

Question 1
If you disagree on a issue with your lead. How will you convey it reasonably?
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.
Recruiter reaches out after applying through Amazon careers, no referral. Had an initial OA, then after a month had four rounds in two days - three coding one system design. Each round had 30 min behavioral and 30 min coding.
