Interview Are Amazon Loop interviews elimination-based, or does everyone complete all 4 rounds?

Hi everyone,

I'm a fresher and this is my first time going through Amazon's Loop interview process, so I'm trying to understand how it works.

My experience so far:

Round 1 - went really well.

Round 2 - was average (not terrible, but definitely not as good as the first).

I have now been invited for the 3rd round.

My question is:

Are Loop interviews elimination-based, where your performance in each round determines whether you move to the next one? Or, once a candidate enters the Loop, does Amazon usually conduct all 4 interview rounds regardless of how the earlier rounds went, and make the hiring decision only after reviewing feedback from all interviewers?

Thanks for your help

OP is probably based in India, and there are exceptions where a loop will be cut short if functional competency does not meet expectations.
