I applied online. I interviewed at Amazon (Mumbai) in Apr 2024
Interview
Amazon’s interview process begins with resume screening, followed by a recruiter phone screen to assess your background and alignment with Amazon’s Leadership Principles. Next is a technical or functional phone interview, often involving coding or role-specific questions. The final stage is the onsite “Loop,” a series of 4–6 interviews covering behavioral and technical competencies. One interviewer is a Bar Raiser who ensures high hiring standards. After the interviews, a hiring committee reviews all feedback to make a decision. If successful, you’ll receive an offer and can negotiate. Preparation should focus heavily on Amazon’s 16 Leadership Principles and core job skills.
