Me postulé en línea. El proceso tomó 5 semanas. Acudí a una entrevista en Amazon (Bengaluru) en ene 2011
Entrevista
2 phone screens. 5-8 face to face interviews.
Sometimes the recruiters screen you 1st on phone before everything else. Be careful if your recruiter starts interviewing you. They tend to note each and everything aspect of your behaviour and conversation and help steer hiring decisions, either ways. The company is about high hiring standards, and recruiters seem true disciples of that... I've heard that when a recruiter says "no" to hire, no one questions them

Behavioural. Sometimes if enough time is given to think through past experience, this would mostly be cake walk, be sure to check the leadership principles before you walk in for an interview!
Surprisingly easy — I expected tougher questions, but the coding round felt more like a warm-up. The main challenge was a DSA problem about counting islands in a 2D grid, which led to a discussion on DFS versus BFS and handling large grids. Funny enough, I had revisited that exact type of question while prepping on PracHub, which made me feel more confident. The interview wrapped up with a behavioral round, and I accepted an offer, but ultimately decided to decline it for another opportunity. Overall, it was a smooth experience.

Number of Islands — given a 2D grid of '1's (land) and '0's (water), count the number of connected islands. Walk through DFS vs BFS, and discuss how to avoid revisiting cells (in-place mutation vs visited set) and what changes if the grid is huge and must stream from disk.
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.
Um teste de código online, se aprovado, vai para o loop. O loop é 4 entrevistas seguidas, duas em inglês e duas em português. 3 entrevistas técnicas de código, todas as 4 têm pergunta de liderança.
