I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Amazon Web Services (San Francisco, CA) in Oct 2023
Interview
Phone screen, very well handled by the recruiter, followed by an interview to discuss a take-home assignment with 2 people from the Solutions Architect team. They asked reasonable questions to try to ascertain my expertise, good conversation all around, surprisingly low pressure.
Interview questions [2]
Question 1
Describe any products you've build using AWS services.
I interviewed at Amazon Web Services (Seattle, WA)
Interview
Several initial screens by recruiters validating my experience and resume.
Then a circuit of 5 interviewers in the same day lasting over 5 hours. When I was done I was offered a different job from the one for which I had interviewed.
I interviewed at Amazon Web Services (London, England)
Interview
The Amazon loop is an unusual process that is exhausting. It involves meeting a series of interviewers over a day, each of which has a different perspective. Mine was all remote, performed from the comfort of my home whilst the interviewers were largely US based.
I interviewed at Amazon Web Services (Auckland, Auckland)
Interview
Started with a phone screen with the hiring manager, moved into a technical interview (~20 questions) and finally 5 1:1 on site interviews. Outcome on the whole process via phone call a few weeks after the last interview.
