I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Herndon, VA) in Feb 2020
Interview
1. Phone Screen Interview
2. Interview with 3 members from the team. A panel discussion.
Questions were of medium difficulty. One algorithms question was asked too. Started with an intro about myself and the courses that I had taken. Got a reply instantly within 2 days.
First meeting with recruiter collected all information. then meeting scheduled with Hiring Manager: Asked questions from the job description but it was vague in which domain they were looking for.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Experience in Threat Detection and Application Security
It's been described that I will have secure code review task and threat modelling related tasks on the technical interview, followed by Amazon's leadership principles and the star method regarding past experiences.
Online Assessment — likely a technical assessment testing security/coding fundamentals
Phone Screening — an initial conversation, probably with a recruiter or hiring manager
