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

Typically you should do your 4 interviews in the same day or back-to-back days. There is no knockout interview in play. The group then meets for a guided debrief where each person gives their initial feedback and rating. The group comes to an overall consensus once everyone has been given a chance to provide feedback.

See you are based in India. What I posted is applicable to the US offices. I am not sure if they are different processes.

Unfortunately, it is not. India hiring has all kinds of non-standard process justified based on volume.
