I was contacted by the recruiter via LinkedIn for Amazon’s devices team. There was an initial call to go over the role. Followed by a phone screen with one of the developers. Phone screen consisted of questions to test your knowledge in CSS, JS and DOM manipulation. After the first interview, I was asked for a second phone screen with another developer. Even though I felt both the interviews went well, I got an automated rejection email with no feedback (citing amazon policy). This was my second rejection from amazon. I wouldn’t appear for anymore amazon interviews as there is no point without knowing where you are falling short every time. I understand they can’t give feedback due to policy, the least they can do is tell us what to improve.

The process was standard for a front-end role. It began with an initial recruiter screening followed by a technical phone interview focused on JavaScript fundamentals. Afterward, there was a virtual onsite consisting of three rounds: a live coding challenge (DSA), a specialized React/system design round, and a final behavioral culture-fit discussion with the engineering manager.
