I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Amazon (Vancouver, BC) in Apr 2025
Interview
I went to the series of Online Virtual Interviews with Engineering team.
The interviews went well, even one engineer, who was surely doing one of his first interviews, was kind and helpful. I was declined, maybe due to my short System Design experience.
