Vorstellungsgespräch
I had got call from amazon recruitment team for telephonic interview. I was waiting for the telephonic interview on scheduled time. In between I had sent a mail to HR asking for detailed JD. There was no response from them at all. Just before 5 minutes of scheduled time, got call from interviewer saying he is busy and can not take interview. It only shows how they manage their time / plan and respect others time. I had wasted lot of time for this interview. First round of telephonic finally happened on re scheduled time. Question were very basic like matrix multiplication, difference between override and overload, some distributed computing. I could answer them well and even interview acknowledged that it is correct. I was very hopeful of getting into next interview. To my surprise, I got a mail saying that i have not cleared first round. I don't know how they evaluate when interviewer himself acknowledged that answers are correct. Whole thing is badly handled.

Tough interview.
The Process: Automated Online Assessment (OA) with 2 coding questions and a system simulation, followed by a 4-round virtual Loop. Every single round started with 20 minutes of intense, behavioral behavioral questions diving into Amazon's Leadership Principles, followed by 25 minutes of technical coding or system design.
Amazon interviews are a test of mental endurance because you have to switch from deep behavioral storytelling straight into complex coding which can be so difficult. I used Apex Interviewer to practice the cognitive context switch. Running through their live-coding workspace helped me ensure my technical communication and architectural structures remained sharp and automatic, even after spending the first half of the interview defending my past project metrics. I fed the practice AI questions I extracted from glassdoor and gothamloop.
In the end, the offer was way lower than I hoped.
