Candidatei-me por meio de recrutador(a). O processo levou 2 meses. Fui entrevistado pela Amazon (Seattle, WA) em out. de 2017
Entrevista
After a recruiter reaching out to me initially, I did two phone screens - one more technical in nature, and the other with situational questions. After those, I got invited to do an interview loop at an interview day. Did 4 back to back interviews between 9am and 1pm. Focus was primarily on situational questions, with one interview focusing on system design. After completing the loop, it took 4 business days to hear back that I had made it through the process. After that I had a few calls with different hiring managers about their teams and available positions, from which I got to pick which position I wanted to go with. All in all an excellent experience

Pergunta 1
Can't give full detail (NDA) but expect lots of "tell me about a time you ... ", based on the Amazon leadership principles. For system design, expect to be asked about any one of many current highly available, highly scalable platforms, and how to implement key features of those.
Phone screen, 5 1 hour interviews for loop
Each hour was dedicated to 2 LPs. System design was more collaborative than i anticipated which was a pleasant surprise. The phone screen mostly focused on my previous experiences

Candidatei-me por indicação de um funcionário. O processo levou 2 semanas. Fui entrevistado pela Amazon (Tóquio) em fev. de 2026
Entrevista
The interview process is straightforward but intense.
First interview was with another Software Dev Manager in the same team. After that the famous loop interview where I had to take 5 interviews in a row over two days ( using paid holidays at work ). Recruiter gave a lot of information about possible questions and helped with materials. However, I had to use same stories few times as the different interviewers asked same questions few times.
Everything is okay, I had a good time during the interviews and it was a good exercise. However, I simply do not understand why they have to call to reject? I am not a customer to be obsessed with. A straight cut rejection via email works better than taking time out of my busy schedule.
If they used this time to share some feedback, that would be useful. If they do not share any reason why I have to continue formal small talk just to get the rejection on my face?

A time you were driving toward a goal and realized more than halfway in that it may not be the best goal.
Had 1 round of System design interview. I thought the interview went ok, if not bad, it went decently well. Received a rejection response, while asking to apply 6 months later.
