Interviews in Bangalore office never follows the guideline as advertized in the website. There were no telephonic interviews at all and a mere single round of face to face interview for a senior position. Just 3 questions of which one was about yourself and 2 design questions that too at an algorithmic level.
1. For a set of streaming numbers (maybe billions) design a data structure to compute sum, average and median.
2. Design an Instant Messaging system at a high level including the possible number of servers for around 10 million users. The features include buddy list and presence updates.
Also an opinion was formed that iPhone SDK does not support C++.
The organization should definitely refine the process considering the fact that a single opinion is normally not considered good enough to hire senior professionals.

The interview process was a standard faang process. I also had to do a writing assignment. The recruiter did a good job of setting expectations. The interview followed the leadership principles well.
The recruiter reached out to schedule 5 rounds of interview with heavy stress on Amazon transparent principles on leadership and others. Surprisingly barring one, nobody turned their videos on during the interview in a way disrespectful to the participant. The interviewers looked very naive and never felt Amazon was a different anywhere. Sure to laxity shown and non transparent process, i lost interest midway and discontinued it. Average experience for a company brand like Amazon.

The interview process was very long and you need to prepare well for it to make sure you are aligned with all the leadership principles. Amazon takes it very seriously and they send you documentation on how to prepare for the interview
