J'ai postulé en ligne. Le processus a pris 2 semaines. J'ai passé un entretien chez Amazon (Sydney) en juill. 2021
Entretien
Applied online for a role advertised, however recruiter referred me to another position instead. (Mentioned that the advertised role was a catch-all to get applicants).
There was no communications from the recruiter, rather the coordinator contacted me for available times to schedule the phone screen.
Did the phone screen interview with a peer within the SA team, and unfortunately did not make it through the the next rounds and got the usual rejection email.
The phone screen wasn't hard and I believe I was able answer all the questions without any issues. However, still not enough to make it through to the next stages.
General break down:
1 x Leadership Principal Questions
4 x Scenario Based Technical Questions with follow-ups
~15-20 x Technical Questions

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.
