I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon Web Services (Bengaluru) in Jul 2025
Interview
Recruiter calls to give an overview of the process and stresses on the importance of their LPs. I didn't take his word as seriously as I should have and was able to manage the first 3 rounds. It mostly covered medium-hard DSA, OOPS, reasoning and LPs. In the 4th round, I got caught like a deer in headlights with the LP question and stumbled for 40mins. Still somehow went through to the bar raiser round and that was also medium DSA. I got a rejection email the next week.
Recruiter reached out, had a phone screening then a technical assessment.
Went to next level then never heard back from the recruiter or the team.
Heard they filled it out with someone else.
I only the phone interview. One leetcode and normal questions. They basic see do you fit thier culture or not. Later they asked me availabilty for next round but I got another job so I left.
