I applied online. I interviewed at Amazon (Glasgow, Scotland) in Nov 2020
Interview
Online test in 3 parts followed by remote "onsite" final interview taking 3 hours. Descision from the online test were quick. Recruiter forgot to answer me a couple of times. In the end, after the 3hour interview I was ghosted. Got an automated email saying I failed only 2 months later together with a survey to talk about the process...

I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Cape Town) in Sept 2025
Interview
I had a first phone screen, which was an hour long, had 15 minutes of Hr questions based on Leadership Principles, then 45 minutes of real-time coding problems, You need to know a bit much about DSA to be able to pass the coding challenges, you must think out loud.

Question 1
What is the difference between a binary tree and a binary search tree?
They asked basic questions about technical stuff, then another purely technical round where I was given one main coding problem, followed by 4 follow-up questions/variations based on the initial problem.
First stage was the OA and workstyles assessment. After getting through it I faced the phone screen interview and I didn't get through it. The coding question was a pretty standard product categorisation coding problem
