Process

  1. An AWS Manager saw my LinkedIn profile and connected with a recruiter.
  2. The recruiter sent an online assessment.
  3. After passing the assessment, I received a phone call to schedule a technical interview (I had three weeks to study).
  4. I passed the interview and negotiated the total compensation.

Questions

The Online Assessment comprised two LeetCode Medium questions and a work simulation survey that judged character and technical background.

An Onsite Interview consisted of four parts, each one hour long. This included a mix of approximately two behavioral questions and one technical question per session.

Three of the questions were LeetCode Medium difficulty (one was a literal copy-paste). One question was a system design question.

Behavioral questions will want to emphasize Amazon Leadership Principles.

One technical question is very generic, so I feel comfortable sharing: Design a parking lot.
