My path began with a recruiter screen and then a technical screening. That screen had a short introduction, behavioral questions, a coding segment, and time at the end to ask about Amazon.
The final loop was much longer. I had multiple one-hour interviews with different people, each mixing live coding and behavioral questions. In the coding rounds, I solved data structures and algorithms problems in a shared environment while explaining my approach aloud. The behavioral discussions used Amazon's Leadership Principles, STAR-style stories, and follow-up questions. Each round ended with a few minutes for my own questions.
It was difficult and took stamina. I did not get an offer. I could keep up technically when focused, but the number of rounds and the depth of the leadership follow-ups meant that small lapses could add up.
Location: Canada. Overall feedback: negative. Offer status: no offer.
