      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Amazon in Jun 2022

      My impression of the interview was that the interviewer lacked the necessary experience to assess my qualifications for the manager role. The questions did not cover all the aspects of the role's responsibility, such as team building, coaching, and strategic planning.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Past experiences, technical skills, leadership
