Colloquio
The interview experience was very professional and well-organized from start to finish. The recruiter was exceptionally responsive and clear about each stage, which made the process smooth and transparent.
I went through a total of five one-on-one interviews, each focusing on different aspects of design and collaboration. The sessions covered topics such as user-centered design thinking, problem-solving, visual craft, cross-functional collaboration, and leadership principles. Every interviewer was highly engaged and respectful, creating an environment that felt more like a thoughtful design discussion than a formal assessment.
Overall, it was one of the most professional and positive interview processes I’ve experienced—structured, fair, and insightful.

I reached the first video round (they call it phone screen) over zoom. This was after assessment and HR screening. HR teams was great at scheduling the interviews, but they still scheduled my interview a day early which i had not given that on my preference dates. In the mail it was told that it's a role competency based behavioural round with respect to amazon's leadership principles but my interviewer (from US time zone) conducted a mini portfolio round and asked me to present 2 case studies which i was not prepared for. Interviewer didn't care about any STAR method. Got a rejection mail within the timeline mentioned to hear back from them which was 2 days.

Colloquio
The interview process started with a recruiter screening where the recruiter explained the role, team structure, and the overall interview process. The recruiter also walked through Amazon’s Leadership Principles and explained how they would be evaluated during the interviews.
The first round was a 60-minute video interview with the hiring manager. The conversation focused mostly on behavioral questions aligned with Amazon’s Leadership Principles. The hiring manager asked several scenario-based questions about past projects, stakeholder management, and decision-making in complex environments. The interview also included discussion about my experience designing complex workflows and enterprise systems.
Later stages (as explained by the recruiter) include a functional interview with a senior designer where candidates present 1–2 portfolio projects, followed by a final loop consisting of a portfolio presentation, a whiteboarding challenge, and multiple behavioral interviews with different team members.
Overall the process is structured, leadership-principle driven, and heavily focused on real project examples and measurable impact.
