J'ai postulé en ligne. Le processus a pris 2 mois. J'ai passé un entretien chez Amazon Web Services (Herndon, VA) en juin 2022
Entretien
Long arduous loop. 5 people that range from asking standard interview questions from a question bank to obvious gate-keepers.
Huge recommendations from being on the other side and doing 100+ loops:
1. Look up the Leadership Principles and have at least two examples ready for every one.
2. Don't recycle examples from onee loop to the other.
3. Practice STAR format until your fluid, the more impact you have the better. The more metrics you have the better.
4. Be selfish! A lot of candidates use "we" - don't. Turn it into an I and be generous with the impact.
5. Cross functional collaboration and working autonomously in ambiguity - you love it and you show that you love it!

Entretien
Protracted and highly structured interview process. There were psychological tests, writing assignments, as well as a full day of 7 back-to-back interviews. There was a lot of support from AWS offered, but there is the feeling of wanting conformity and allegiance to the almighty "Leadership Principles".
Questions d'entretien [1]
Question 1
Tell me about a time when... (every question pretty much started like this, and then the answer needs to follow the STAR format and relate to the Leadership Principles.) :-|

Reached out to by recruiter who mentioned my profile jumped out to hiring manager. After screening call with recruiter, had an interview with hiring manager and a team member. I prepped pretty well on the STAR method and Amazon Leadership principles, but process was rushed. Supposed to have an hour, but the hiring manager shortened the interview to 45 min within first minute of the call. Only asked one real question and the rest were piggyback from scenario I gave. Overall, I expected a difficult interview, but this was not necessarily difficult but the impersonal aspect of it threw me off.
