Amazon Interview Process and Common Question Types
What to expect in Amazon's interview process: loop structure, leadership principles, and common technical and behavioral questions.
Amazon's interview process often includes a phone screen followed by a "loop" of several back-to-back interviews with different interviewers.
The Amazon loop
The loop usually includes technical (coding and/or system design) and behavioral interviews. Behavioral questions are tied to Amazon’s leadership principles, so prepare concrete examples that show how you’ve demonstrated each principle.
Technical and behavioral balance
Coding questions are often medium difficulty, with an emphasis on clarity and communication. System design may be included for more senior roles. Practicing with an AI co-pilot during your own prep can help you explore different solutions and improve your explanation skills.
