Fair but tough.
Presales SA Role- Virtual TX -Public Sector.
The recruiter reached out to me on LinkedIn. I applied on 12/30/20 & got a call 12/31/20.
I did the online assessment with the below break down.
I think I scored a yellow, since my next step was a technical phone screen on 01/13/21. Technical Phone Screen was 80 % broad sweep of technical concepts. Started off as 20 % Behavioral+ Leadership Principles oriented. (HINT: Check out Dan Croiter videos on Youtube) ex. Why do you want to work at AWS? ex. Tell me about a time you made a mistake and your manager gave you feedback?

J'ai postulé en ligne. Le processus a pris 1 jour. J'ai passé un entretien chez Amazon (Seattle, WA) en avr. 2026

You do 4 back to back interview in 1 day. It was exhausting. Besides that really appreciated the recruiter giving out interview prep before it takes place. The good thing is there is no coding round.
The interview process was very challenging and thorough. The questions required deep technical knowledge and problem-solving under pressure. While tough, it was fair and tested real-world skills, communication, and adaptability.
