I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Amazon
Interview
It was two rounds of Phone & Video Screens, as everyone was based in Seattle. They were timed to the minute, and very rigid in their questions. It was clear there was a template, it didn't feel genuine, and was very forced. I got the feeling my interviewers didn't like what they worked on and felt annoyed having to talk to me. It was very rapid fire, and textbook questions. They typed the whole time, which sounded like they wrote down every word I said.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
They asked a lot of hypothetical questions of how I would handle Product situations.
Examples:
- Describe a time you built something and it failed - what was it, why, what did you do
- Describe a time you had to convince someone higher up than you that disagreed with you how to make a decision that you needed them to make one.
It had 6 rounds- heavily focussed on leadership principles. they really do cross question almost every other example.......... You get multiple interviewers across the organisation. I thought- the questions were repetitive after one point.
