I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Amazon Web Services (London, England) in Nov 2022
Interview
An interview process which uses a lot of a candidates time (5 x 1 hour interviews so had to take a day off work) and didn’t care about getting to know a candidate and whether they’d be a good fit for the team/company. Also didn’t allow for any scope for you to get to know the team/if the role would be a good fit for you. Was pushed to reveal confidential information which wasn’t necessary for proving my aptitude. Interviewed for a role at one of the other top 5 companies with 2 x (still strenuous) 30 minute interviews and a session to meet the whole team virtually. No guesses which role I picked in the end!
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Examples of implementing a change based on data analysis.
I interviewed at Amazon Web Services (Arlington, VA)
Interview
Two screening phone interviews followed by a loop with five interviews in one day. Found it to be very efficient. The loop day was long but I preferred that to interviews spread out over several days.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Walk me through a project you managed from start to finish including objective, scope, challenges, results. What did I learn from the experience?
I interviewed at Amazon Web Services (Munich, Bavaria)
Interview
Typical Amazon blend of leadership principles and technical questions. Panel interview. Short and relatively awkward if you’re not used to the questions. Lots of digging deeper on the stories. Need to prepare the stories in detail in advance.

Interview
they follow the STAR method & add numbers to every scenario choose a recent scenario & dont repeat situation within the interview. The key is aboyt clarifying all possible questions
