I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Amazon (Tel Aviv-Yafo) in Aug 2024
Interview
The process consisted of several steps:
1. Initial technical evaluation phase - a technical test that included LeetCode style questions.
2. Initial personality assessment phase - a test with a number of parts that included personality questions as well as a simulated situation at work and how I deal with it.
3. 3 zoom tests on the same day - increasing difficulty level, first half of personality questions and second technical part.
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Cape Town) in Sep 2025
Interview
I had a first phone screen, which was an hour long, had 15 minutes of Hr questions based on Leadership Principles, then 45 minutes of real-time coding problems, You need to know a bit much about DSA to be able to pass the coding challenges, you must think out loud.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What is the difference between a binary tree and a binary search tree?
They asked basic questions about technical stuff, then another purely technical round where I was given one main coding problem, followed by 4 follow-up questions/variations based on the initial problem.
First stage was the OA and workstyles assessment. After getting through it I faced the phone screen interview and I didn't get through it. The coding question was a pretty standard product categorisation coding problem
