Entrevista
First an online assessment, then a technical phone screening, followed by the loop interview. It was fairly wasy interview, but got confused by the interviewer in one on the loop interviews and other rounds were easy.
Preguntas de entrevista [1]
Pregunta 1
1st round was online assessment. 1 medium question and 1 hard question. I was only able to solve the medium one.
Next was technical screening. It was a graph question(walls and gates) and I was able to solve it quickly. And there were behavioural questions as well and the questions there were follow up questions on each leadership principle to understand the situation deeply.
Then there was a loop interview comprised of 4 technical rounds back to back. A system design round where I was asked to design AWS marketplace. Then there was problem solving round, the question was based on topological sort, but the interviewer confused me to design the system for solving the problem, and I provided low level design instead of the actual algorithm and this was the deal breaker. Then there was a DS and Algo round, which was similar to rotten oranges leetode problem, I was able to solve it. Then there was a low level design round where I was asked to design an OOP system to calculate the price of a pizza. There were behavioural question in all the rounds.
The process consisted of one long homework assignment as the initial screening. Once passed, I was invited to a single interview day divided into two rounds:
Round 1: Conducted by two interviewers.
Round 2: Conducted by a Senior Developer.
Both rounds followed a similar format, each including 2 behavioral/personal questions followed by 1 coding/technical question.

Stage 1 — Application
You apply through the Amazon Careers portal (AWS roles route through Amazon University Talent Acquisition for new grads). New grad postings tend to open in waves, with a lot of activity in fall and again in winter/spring.Stage 2 — Online Assessment (OA)
Within 1–2 weeks of applying, you'll typically get an OA link with a few days to complete it. It usually has two parts: two coding problems (often one easy + one medium, leetcode-style, focused on data structures and algorithms), followed by a work simulation / work-style assessment where you respond to email-style scenarios that probe how you'd handle real workplace situations against Amazon's Leadership Principles.Stage 3 — Phone screen (sometimes)
Some candidates report a single technical phone screen between the OA and the final loop, but many go directly from OA to the virtual onsite.Stage 4 — Virtual Onsite ("the Loop")
This is the main event: typically 2–3 back-to-back interviews, each 45–60 minutes. Each round generally follows the same pattern — roughly half behavioral, half technical:
Recruiter Screen: A 20-minute "vibe check" on your background and salary.
Technical Assessment: A timed coding challenge or a logic-based brainteaser.
The "Onsite" (Virtual or In-Person): 3–4 back-to-back rounds covering system design and behavioral "tell me about a time" questions.
Bar Raiser: A final interview with a neutral party to ensure you meet the company's high standards.
