J'ai postulé via une autre source. Le processus a pris 3 mois. J'ai passé un entretien chez Amazon
Entretien
Went through a phone screen with someone from HR followed by two technical phone interviews. After that I was brought out to Seattle to interview in person. That day was especially grueling with 6 interviews lasting 45 minutes each including one over lunch which was especially awkward to be interviewed at the same time as you tried to eat lunch. Overall, I can't say I was overly surprised with any of the content but the length of time and number of interviews that you went through made for a long day.

Question 1
On the whiteboard, design a high-availability system that can take in the periodic table of elements and then output the largest word that can be formed with the elements. Once that was done, describe and design different ways to optimize the system.

The interview process was a standard faang process. I also had to do a writing assignment. The recruiter did a good job of setting expectations. The interview followed the leadership principles well.
The recruiter reached out to schedule 5 rounds of interview with heavy stress on Amazon transparent principles on leadership and others. Surprisingly barring one, nobody turned their videos on during the interview in a way disrespectful to the participant. The interviewers looked very naive and never felt Amazon was a different anywhere. Sure to laxity shown and non transparent process, i lost interest midway and discontinued it. Average experience for a company brand like Amazon.

The interview process was very long and you need to prepare well for it to make sure you are aligned with all the leadership principles. Amazon takes it very seriously and they send you documentation on how to prepare for the interview
