Loop interview process of 4 to 5 interviews broken into two days. The interview was never completed as they were having layoffs and I never got communication from anyone. Overall pretty bad experience.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Standard Leetcode Questions, they were all about medium difficulty. Some of the questions were worded very awkwardly which made it difficult.
Very long. Multiple interviews. Had to work out a lot extra questions they would ask. Difficult to schedule with them. Went in for an in person interview with them and they ended up giving me an offer
I interviewed at Amazon Web Services (Seattle, WA) in Jan 2026
Interview
Interview process was tough. 8 rounds and the latter part focusing specifically on my AI understanding + capabilities. Honestly it was such a foreign/new experience due to the rapidly changing technologies that I didn't even consider half the questions that were asked to me in real time
I applied online. I interviewed at Amazon Web Services (Madrid) in Oct 2025
Interview
great. Leetcode hard, HR was not the best and reduced the overall experience. The first process was a hacker rank type dsa interview, second was an interview with a dev, third would be a systems design round
