“A lot of focus spent in every round on LP questions. Make sure to have sufficient stories, sometimes they plan to ask two, but end up asking a third one.”
“There is not that much interaction with a recruiter. I was lucky in the coding question was not hard but they have a bank essentially similar to leetcode mediums. The bar raiser round you should prepare stories for each one”
“Too much bureaucratic process. Be prepared for ghosting. They expedite after onsites. Negotiation can take few rounds. Be patient, they do not throw away strong candidates.”
“The interviewers were current program managers and was not my hiring manager. You don't know what team you will be on until after you get your offer. ”
“Recruiter was super helpful throughout the process helping me navigate through the process and super responsive whenever I had any questions. Lot of interesting questions asked to test problem solving + LPs related questions can sometimes put you on spot in revealing things that you don't want to. Overall it was a good experience and recruiter reached out to me after a week. ”
“The process was very straightforward. The recruiter will help guide you and give you tips on how to prepare for the interview. They are hyper focused on their Amazon Principles and all questions will stem from that. ”
“The interview loop was definitely more AI/ML focused than software focused. There was no leetcode really, but I did have to write a simple KNN algorithm from scratch.”
“Got a verbal offer but didn't match to the original team. I did eventually get matched to the next team, so don't give up if you get a verbal offer”
“It was really good as they do seem to care about interview and i had a great time discussing with the interviewer.”
