      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Amazon in Feb 2026

      Interview

      Recruiter explicitly mentioned that the Technical Phone Screen interview did not contain any Behavioral question but the interviewer definitely asked 3 behavioral questions. The coding problem was utterly garbage, it was a pretty trivial problem that anyone that knows DFS would be able to solve. That is not appropriate for a SDE 2 role. Not even useful to demonstrate candidate skills PS: They care a lot more about what you've accomplished than whatever you can accomplish based on your skills

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      1. Tell me about a time when you had to meet a tight deadline 2. Tell me about a time when you had to do more than what you were required to do 3. Tell me about a time where you made a significant impact on a customer
      Answer question

      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Amazon (Bengaluru) in Sept 2025

      Interview

      5 rounds of interviews 1. OA (2 Medium Hard Questions along with some Work Related Assessment which tested design related concepts) 2. HLD 3. DSA 4. LLD 5. Bar Raiser Technically, the questions were of medium difficulty and with good polish, you should be able to solve these questions. The main challenge in Amazon is of the Leadership Principles which involve citing real work experience in the STAR format.
