Two main rounds. First was a one hour interview with behavioral questions, followed by a coding exercise. Second was the same thing, except a full day.
Recruiting was a headache. They sometimes take days to respond (sometimes more than a week), so you have to follow up. They also don't always communicate. One of my interviews had to be rescheduled, but they failed to communicate that to me, so after some unnecessary circles, I had to reschedule it for another day. Very inconvenient.
The actual interviews were ok at best. Some interviewers had very strong accents, which made them hard to understand at times. Nothing against people with accents, but they probably shouldn't be conducting interviews. Plus some interviews started late. You can't expect a candidate to be on time when the interviewer is not.
Lastly, Amazon has a policy of not providing feedback to candidates after interviews. I find that unfair given how much time a typical candidate has to put in to preparing for the multiple interviews. But then on top of that, Amazon actually asks candidates for feedback on their interview experience. Double standard much? Google has an equally rigorous interview process, but at least they show some respect to candidates and provide feedback.
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Amazon (Bengaluru) in May 2026
Interview
I interviewed for the Front End Engineer I role at Amazon and received an offer.
The process started with an online assessment consisting of two DSA questions and one React debugging/fixing task. I was able to complete all the questions.
The first interview focused on a graph-based DSA problem, follow-up questions, resume discussion, and Amazon Leadership Principles. I initially mentioned that I was not very comfortable with graph problems, but I worked through the solution by discussing my approach and recalling DFS/BFS concepts. The round went reasonably well.
The second round was with a senior front-end engineer and was heavily focused on front-end development. We discussed Next.js, my previous projects, JavaScript, HTML, CSS, and AI-assisted development. There was also a machine coding exercise where I built components similar to Amazon product cards. This was my strongest round.
The final round was with the Hiring Manager. We briefly discussed my resume and then spent most of the interview on behavioral and Leadership Principle questions. The conversation was engaging, and I also had the opportunity to ask several questions about the team and role.
Overall, the interview process was challenging but fair. My advice is to prepare DSA fundamentals, be ready to discuss every project on your resume in depth, and spend significant time preparing Leadership Principle stories.

Question 1
Design and implement an Amazon-style product card component using React while keeping the component reusable and responsive.
Had online assessment round and then initial phone screen and then virtual onsite round with 3 interviews. The position was a new grad role. The questions were based on leadership principles and DSA, OO design, and FE questions.
