Where this comes from

From the company

Amazon's own pages describe an interview loop in which each interviewer assesses different things and asks Leadership Principle questions; its detailed prep page is for SDE II (four 55-minute interviews, one with systems design). New-grad accounts differ in count — PrepInsta three rounds ending in the Bar Raiser, InterviewBit three DSA rounds and HR — and system design for new grads depends on the team.

How a run works

Rounds open in order: each one once the round before it is sat. No cut-off is applied — no company publishes one — so the scores sit side by side at the end.
The online test is the company's placement test pattern, proctored like any sitting. A sitting started before the round opened is not counted.
Each interview round is a mock interview with the AI interviewer, briefed on the company and the round. It counts toward your weekly interview allowance like any other, and its answers feed your skill profile and readiness.
Technical and coding rounds are written, with the editor. The HR and managerial rounds are held the way you chose when you started: written, or spoken for 10 minutes.
