Amazon Advertising Customer Success Engineer interview: leadership and coding loop

After applying, I completed an online assessment before scheduling began. The early part felt fairly straightforward: a mostly technical phone step came first, then I moved into a loop after clearing it. I spoke with several interviewers in the loop, where technical problem solving sat alongside Amazon-style leadership discussion.

The loop included coding, system design, and a bar raiser. The coding was on the easier side for me, including finding duplicates and longest common prefix. The leadership-principles discussion focused on STAR-style stories and how I thought about ownership and trade-offs. Another round leaned into system design, and another brought up AI and generative AI. The difficulty felt average rather than crushing.

I heard back within about a week. The rounds felt fair and less complicated than their overall structure might suggest. What stayed with me was how much the leadership-principles probing shaped the conversation even when the coding felt manageable.

Location: United States. Overall feedback: Neutral. Offer status: No offer.
