As an advocate working on an open-source project, I am happy to say that working at Amazon is much better than I expected. For the team I am on, I have a great level of autonomy to do what is right for our community. We regularly abide by the leadership principles, which is really refreshing.
Navigating Amazon can be really challenging. There are several internal processes that are very hard to find and follow sometimes.
If you are good about speaking up when you need help, there is always someone to lend a hand, though.
Phone interview and 5 loop interviews. Can't describe anything; the experience depends on the interviewer. Some interviewers make you feel good, but some interviewers ask tough behavioral questions.
Applied, waited a while, got OA, two-question LC med, final round behavioral + LC easy. Waitlisted then got off the waitlist. Pretty chill process, maybe somewhat RNG with interviewer. Chill process overall.
It was easy and to the point. The interviewer was sweet and allowed me enough time to think about how to approach solving the problems. The coding question asked was for an inventory and managing it. It was an easy solve with the right data structure
