Amazon is a great place, despite senior leadership
Amazon is a great place, despite senior leadership
Great talent, fast pace, data-driven culture.
Workload, engineering overheads, poor L8+ leadership.
Many leadership principles and a lack of leadership. Leadership is when you do what you expect your team to do.

Amazon Interview Experiences
Engineering Manager
Applied online for a Software Development Engineer role. Got two 45-minute phone screens: * Data structures * Algorithms * A quick dive into one Leadership Principle. A week later, I had a virtual "onsite" with four back-to-back interviews: * Two
Engineering Manager
Phone screen followed by a four-person loop. Lasted about 2-3 weeks from the initial phone screen to the offer. Amazon covered travel expenses, and the overall process was good. Interviewers were casually dressed.
Engineering Manager
Standard panel with arch, people, and project facets. Met a few people from the team and some from other teams. People were generally friendly and easy to talk to. Seems like they have a bank of questions they choose from.
