When I applied for a software development role at Amazon, the process started with an online application, followed by a recruiter screening call. After that, I completed an online assessment that tested my coding skills and understanding of algorithms.
Next, I had a technical phone interview where I solved coding problems and discussed my approach with the interviewer. Once I cleared that, I was invited to the final round—an onsite interview (conducted virtually). It included several rounds of technical problem-solving, system design, and behavioral questions based on Amazon’s Leadership Principles.
The entire process was thorough but fair, and I appreciated how focused it was on both technical skills and cultural alignment.

Interview questions [1]
Question 1
leet code - array and string questions. easy and medium level
The interview was basically a screening round, It was just a quick interview to get to know if I was worth the company's time. The dsa round was pretty easy but once they got into system design it was harder.

They asked dsa questions like trapping rain water and a stack question similar to valid parenthesis.
Recruiter screen, online assessment, technical interviews, and behavioral rounds focused heavily on Amazon Leadership Principles. The process was structured, with a strong emphasis on problem-solving, coding skills, and examples demonstrating impact and ownership.
