Scripted, for specific words. But that also makes it clear what to expect. Practice with the available stories and you are set. All questions are tell me about a time style so prepare well. The system engineering questions are straightforward but prepare to dig deep. Overall, so much info is available that with enough practice you should be ok
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in May 2021
Interview
Recruiter reached out, informal discussion with hiring manager, online interview spread out over several days. Interviews consisted of:
* System Design
* Leadership
* Behavioral
* Simple coding
Most of the interviews were pretty standard. The leadership interviews were largely based on Amazon’s published leadership principles
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Tell me about a time where you felt strongly about an issue, but turned out to be wrong. What did you do?
Strenuous and long. 2 pre interviews followed by 5 interviews in the day testing all competencies. Interviewers were great. The process was very long and unfortunately missed out to an internal candidate.
