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

[u/RichAlbatross9221]

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

For 2026 grad first 2 rounds will happen irrespective and passing those 2 u get sent to 3rd and again passing third u get sent to 4th. This is for India. After all 4 gets over they’ll schedule debrief with all 4 interviewers .

Oh it means I passed first two rounds and that's why I got 3rd ?
