My process followed what felt like the classic Amazon sequence. A recruiter screen led to a take-home LeetCode-style coding assessment, followed by live coding. I then had a system-design interview with two separate design questions and finished with a behavioral interview about communication and collaboration.
The structure was what I remembered most. The behavioral questions asked me to demonstrate fit against fairly clear expectations. In the technical rounds, I had to show my fundamentals under interview conditions. The interviewers were professional and the process was organized, but the format felt somewhat dated to me. It seemed to put a lot of weight on LeetCode-style correctness and how I communicated in an interview.
The sequence stayed straightforward throughout. I didn't get an offer, but I came away with a clear sense of what they were looking for. I was surprised by how much the structure of the loop seemed to matter compared with my broader engineering experience.
Location: Boston, MA. Overall feedback: positive. Offer status: no offer.
