Question 1
Design a ticketing system - data model to infrastructure design.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Chicago, IL) in Mar 2020
Interview
I applied through Glassdoor and was contacted by a recruiter. She was excellent. She described the position and I described my experience. It was a great conversation. We then proceeded to a second interview, not with the actual hiring manager (at least I don't think so) but with another development manager. In that interview, the manager asked me inane behavioral questions. At some point I lost my calm with the interviewer, I guess that's why I failed that part of the interview. I contacted the original recruiter and asked her if she could supply a different interviewer. After a couple of days, she declined.
