I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Amazon (New York, NY) in Jun 2025
Interview
OA done. possibly rejected. Refered by company employee.
90 mins OA for 2 coding questions. Finished first in 30 mins. Did not finish the second one. Amazon's OA is not most difficult one but very verbose. Description of question is very long and you cannot use just one stop classic algorithm to solve. I probably need nearly 100 lines of code to solve second one with binary search with proper search function design involving efficient checking mininum substring shared GCD > 1. Really verbose and a lot of effort.

The interviews were 50 mins each.
First round with hr screening - 2 leetcode questions then hr manager screening then the loop which consists of 4 interviews each an hour long.
