I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Nov 2019
Interview
This was on the Amazon Web Services team, within one of the sub-groups of AWS. Had a couple of phone screens, although in retrospect they were very similar to the onsite interviews but on a shorter time scale, after which I was flown to Seattle for a one day onsite. Questions very heavily based on the STAR interview format. Annoying behavioral type of questions. They were just relentless with the questions and it was a stressful day. I don't see how this type of interview yields the best candidates for hiring. Also, they seemed not to care about my technical skills during the phone screens but during the interviews that seemed to be come up a few times. Wish they would have been more clear on what they expect for technical abilities before flying me out as I'm not super technical, at least compared to a developer.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Provide an example of a time where you invented something (could be a software, program, etc...), explain what you did, and what impact it had.
Applied, Recruiter Screen then nothing. Not sure when I'll get a call back. The process seems super complicated. Will apply again now that I know what they are looking for.
HR Screening was scheduled. Then 1 technical screening phone interview was scheduled, followed by two Behavioral interviews, followed by two System design interviews, followed by 1 bar raiser interview. Lastly there was an offer.
