Firstly, we started with a 1-hour 'overview' interview where the interviewer inquired about me and why I wanted to work for Amazon, and I asked questions on the nature of the job role and the working culture. Then I was asked to prepare a 6-page proposal based on a fictional (but realistic) requirement from a client for a scalable AWS architecture to support a web application as well as other requirements. This had to cover network, security, non-functionals, etc., all the things that are bread-and-butter for architects. I was then invited to present my proposal in a 1-hour whiteboarding session. Finally, I had 6 follow-up interviews with people from various parts of AWS. A few of these were technical in nature, but also included sales, HR and hiring manager interviews. I had read a number of negative reviews of AWS interviews on Glassdoor, but my experience was highly positive. HR always kept me up to date on the feedback and status; each interviewer took the time to answer my questions. Plus I met 8 different people during the interview process, which meant I got to meet and form opinions on the people I would be working with in future; this is highly valuable and cannot be underrated.
