After a recruiter conversation, I moved into the main loop with several interviewers. The behavioral portion was closely tied to Amazon's Leadership Principles, and each interviewer focused on a different part of my background. Technical discussions mixed LeetCode-style coding with open-ended questions about how I made decisions when requirements or information were incomplete.
The loop included writing code from scratch with hints and more design-oriented conversations. In one interview, I walked through project experience and design decisions, including stakeholder management and tradeoffs. Another covered classic data-structure coding. Throughout the loop, how I approached the work mattered as much as the final solution. I was repeatedly asked to justify my choices and connect them to long-term thinking and root-cause analysis.
The process was well structured across interviewers even as the emphasis changed. It was mentally exhausting, but it made the evaluation of execution and judgment under uncertainty clear.
