I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Amazon (London, England) in Dec 2023
Interview
Drawn out, 3 stages, several interviews and a surprise essay question.
Nothing of great difficulty, but if unprepared, it will show. Important that you know a little about the company and learn the key behaviours they are looking for.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Typical situational questions, leaning heavily into the STAR method for responses.
I received an email for interview and I had an interview which was not specific to the position. After the interview I didn’t receive any positive or negative feedback until I see position was closed.
While I have no doubt the security around the data of AWS is elite, I did have a security breach in my interview process and was notified 2 hours before my second interview that my interview was canceled for the role of construction manager. In the Amazon portal, my contact information was altered and my resume was replaced with a baking recipe in which HR determined that I was responsible for this juvenile and illogical behavior. I spent countless hours studying for this interview and was elated to have made it that far in the interview process. My dream of working for AWS is still there but I'm devastated with how the process worked out. Keep an eye on your account.
