I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Amazon (Tel Aviv-Yafo) in Jan 2021
Interview
Nothing special. 1.5 hours interview with an architect. Some generic questions, some technical questions and we are done. Main focus is IT, Storage, Networking. Not software engineering. Assume role is more sales oriented. Interviewing architect was not aware about CAP theorem and why usual cloud application is AP oriented. Was very surprised when I mentioned that not every system can allow "lift and shift". Definitely all questions comes from his comfort zone - advisor and not implementer.

I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Apr 2026
Interview
You do 4 back to back interview in 1 day. It was exhausting. Besides that really appreciated the recruiter giving out interview prep before it takes place. The good thing is there is no coding round.
The interview process was very challenging and thorough. The questions required deep technical knowledge and problem-solving under pressure. While tough, it was fair and tested real-world skills, communication, and adaptability.
