San Francisco, CAPosted Apr 2026 · Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

My Amazon interview started with a resume screen, then moved into an online assessment, and after that I went through a short round that mixed behavioral and technical questions.

The last step was a final round interview with HR.

Timing-wise, the whole process took about two to three weeks, but it depended on HR availability. What stood out to me was how spread out the steps were, rather than being one continuous day of interviews.

Even though the structure was straightforward, the final HR round was where it felt like everything came together. I didn’t end up getting selected, and I remember thinking that the earlier technical and short behavioral parts didn’t fully predict what would happen in the concluding conversation.
