Entrevista
Applied online via amazon.jobs. Recruiter Screening Received a call from HR who did the initial screening to understand my experience and explained the process clearly. The Recruiter explained the interview process and what to expect. 1st Phone Screen Round Approximately 24-48 hours later I received invitation for a Phone screen with a team member. The interview was a mix of technical questions across compute, storage, databases and networking. Also one question on leadership principles. Final Loop (5 rounds) Two days later received invitation for final loop with a panel. Recruiter again helped here by sharing useful material and tips to prepare for the interview. Total of 5 rounds in which one of the rounds is technical. All the interviewers were very friendly. They are trying to extract the data points from you so that they can root for you. 4 rounds of interviews are completely based on leadership principles. So you need a lot of examples to prepare 1 round is based on technical depth across compute , storage, databases , networking and security.

Applied online, recruiter reached out and conducted a brief phone screen and insisted they was provided a salary range / number.
After this I was invited to do an online job simulation assessment and a multiple choice behavioral questionnaire, which was around two hours.
Next step if successful is a technical phone screen with a Cloud Infrastructure Architect who asked mostly technical interview questions and Why Amazon? This was fairly easy and enjoyable.
Then if you ace all that you are invited for the final LOOP interview process which consisted of several 1 hour back to back interviews. There was two technical interviews, one was just answering technical questions with one or two behavioral questions and the other was a whiteboarding exercise, the software they make you use is awful so make sure you practice how to use it!
The other three interviews were all behavioral based and expected responses based on the STAR format. Unfortunately the interviewer picks the questions so I ended up being asked the same questions by all three interviewers. I would say 70% of the questions were based on handling conflict, missing a deadline or persuading your team to follow your direction and if you don't have stories from a similar position you are applying for then they seem to not be too interested in what you have to say.
One of these interviews I was constantly interrupted when trying to answer their questions which really soured my overall experience as it felt more like an interrogation than a interview.
Once finished, they promise to give you the outcome in two - five business days, I got a response in under 48 hours, unfortunately no feedback is provided.
