TIL of Amazon's hiring process

POSTED ON:

TAGS: job

There's 5 rounds:

The Screening Round

basic Frontend Tech was discussed including Html, Css, Javascript, some logical questions. There was no coding-test/assignment round.

Technical Rounds

First technical [round] was mostly focused on FE Technologies as in Html, CSS, Javascript, DOM Manipulation etc. All the rounds were Library/Framework agnostic. I was not asked to code in React/Angular specifically.

Second Technical Round was more focused on Data Structures and Algorithms — the topics on focus were Arrays, Strings, Stacks, Linked List, Trees and Maps. There were questions related to core javascript concepts as well. Few were output based.

Hiring Manager Round

behavioural and to check team culture fit. The 14 Amazon Leadership Principles are very important for this round.

Bar Raiser Round

It can be technical, behavioural or a combination of both. For me it majorly revolved around Amazon’s 14 LPs. I was asked questions related to my prior experience and projects. Finally this round ended by a DSA question of Trees. This round is to check that the candidate passes a certain bar set by the engineers and managers and also whether they have the potential of raising the quality bar of team as a whole.
