I applied through a recruiter. The process took 5 months. I interviewed at Amazon Web Services (Washington, DC) in Aug 2024
Interview
Interview was straightforward. 2 coding exams, and 2 behavioral exams before phone screen. And then 2 technical followed by 2 loop rounds which was 2 back to back days. Heavy Java, Python and Linux leetcode questions. This was for a L3/L4 position. I’d say just as difficult as my previous Microsoft, Google and Meta interviews. Told to write from scratch a script if 1000 lines of code in 15 min. Code had to fully function for me to get the phone screen interview.

How would i get into my Linux instance? Give me all possible ways if the instance is locked out. Something around those lines.
I interviewed at Amazon Web Services (New York, NY)
Interview
I applied around January 2025 and got an OA shortly after. From my memory it took around 2 hrs to complete. I got an interview loop invite around sometime in May and then in Early June I had 3 back-to-back interviews and got the offer a week later.

Question 1
Behavioral questions that tie to their leadership principles
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.
