I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Amazon (Los Angeles, CA) in Mar 2022
Interview
I was referred by someone and the interviewed was scheduled within a week after the referral.
I first talked to a recruiter to go over my background, as well as a few behavioral questions, nothing challenging. Then the recruiter described the whole interview process with me. To be honest, I only took a mental note of what the next interview is about and didn't quite remember the rest, since they are so far away from now. One step at a time.
Then I had the first round of interview. It is a mixture of technical questions and behavioral questions. An example of a technical question is: what you need to ensure the reliability of xxxxx? A behavioral interview is more around how do you handle a situation with a client.
The interviewers were very nice and provided guidance along the way.

You do 4 back to back interview in 1 day. It was exhausting. Besides that really appreciated the recruiter giving out interview prep before it takes place. The good thing is there is no coding round.
