Depending on the interviewer, I received 2 emails, one for another interview, and another where I was rejected, and when emailed the recruiter to describe what's the status, she didn't respond.
I believe the AMAZON Principles are nothing, something for the propaganda only, even apologize email, I didn't receive
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Boston, MA) in Apr 2022
Interview
1. Apply for a position
2. Conversation with recruiter
3. Technical rescreening call
4. "On site Interview" now virtual
5. Salary negotiation
The recruiter explains the process, engineers running technical screening calls are very nice and polite. The on site interview is grilling with the people trying to impress each other rather than concentrate on their task. It was noisy and hard to process the questions.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Design tweeter across multiple geographies. Design principles. How they coordinate with Amazon leadership principles.
Write a program which can store a large number flows coming from a stream and place it in an optimum storage to minimize the place rather than retrieval. Leadership principles of owning such task when Product Managers / Owners are not present
Terrible, asked a bunch of things unrelated to the job, algorithms that are never practically used, etc.
Would never interview with amazon again.
Interviewers were alright but overall just a bad experience.
