I applied through an employee referral. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon Web Services (Dublin, Dublin) in Mar 2023
Interview
Overall the process was interesting and even though I did not get an offer I learnt a lot from the process. Interview team was great very friendly and I felt like the conversations were good overall.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Tell me about a time when you had to have a difficult conversation with a manager? How did you approach it and what were the outcomes?
I interviewed at Amazon Web Services (Seattle, WA)
Interview
Several initial screens by recruiters validating my experience and resume.
Then a circuit of 5 interviewers in the same day lasting over 5 hours. When I was done I was offered a different job from the one for which I had interviewed.
I interviewed at Amazon Web Services (London, England)
Interview
The Amazon loop is an unusual process that is exhausting. It involves meeting a series of interviewers over a day, each of which has a different perspective. Mine was all remote, performed from the comfort of my home whilst the interviewers were largely US based.
I interviewed at Amazon Web Services (Auckland, Auckland)
Interview
Started with a phone screen with the hiring manager, moved into a technical interview (~20 questions) and finally 5 1:1 on site interviews. Outcome on the whole process via phone call a few weeks after the last interview.
