Candidate-reported interview process

It was a straightforward interview process with just 3 rounds. Nothing tricky. The interviewers were fair and direct. I didn't find it very difficult.

there are two business interviews. the first is an hour long and the final rounds are usually 3-5 hours long. Most interviews are still virtual and done through Amazon's own video conferencing app called Chime. Make sure to have it downloaded.

The first step was a phone interview where we discussed situational questions related to Amazon's leadership principles. The final stage involved a virtual or in-person interview with at least four interviewers, covering similar topics as the phone interview.
