I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Amazon (Tokyo) in Jan 2025
Interview
Amazon's interview process includes multiple stages: an initial phone or video screening, technical assessments like coding or system design, behavioral interviews based on Leadership Principles, and a final onsite or virtual round with multiple interviewers, including a "bar raiser" to ensure high hiring standards. The process emphasizes problem-solving, critical thinking, and cultural fit within Amazon's customer-focused ethos.
