I applied online. The process took 7 months. I interviewed at Amazon Web Services (Iaşi) in Mar 2023
Interview
I was contacted by a British recruiter and had the interview with a Polish developer from AWS. The interview was a 2 parter, first one was a behavioral question from Amazon leadership principles and second part was a technical question, an easy leetcode problem with a string of characters and a hash map.

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.
