I applied through other source. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Nov 2017
Interview
It's no secret, Amazon is a tough place to interview. The process is not your standard "tell me about yourself/your experiences with xyz". Amazon wants to understand how you think and approach problems.
You will meet with 5 different people, including a Bar-raiser when looping in person. Each session should take about 45 minutes, typically broken out like so -
0-5 minutes: Introduce yourself to interviewer, they will share a bit about themselves or the team they work with
5-35 minutes: Answer questions about "times you have shown a skill, made a difficult decision etc.
35-45 minutes: Candidate asks questions of the interviewer. Don't blow this part off, it is very much part of the interview.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Tell me an example of a time where you were able to identify 2 seemingly separate problems, and solve both issues with a single solution.
Great management, it was a walk in drive and the HR team was able to manage everything well. Enjoyed the process.
All the best to everyone going for the interview.
