A great place to work if you can get through the initial fire drills
A great place to work if you can get through the initial fire drills
Innovation, innovation, innovation. Work hard. Have fun. Make history. It truly still is "day 1" at Amazon.
Amazon loves to try new things, and we give people room to fail. Failure is important if one learns from the mistakes. And every now and then, great new ideas are born.
Look at Web Services. Look at things like Mechanical Turk. These are awesome, awesome projects to work on.
Amazon has some of the smartest people in the industry. Think of what you can do when you are together with so many great minds!
The amount of work is often borderline insane, and we have a tendency to burn out people. We need to watch this.
Watch attrition. Too often, people burn out too early in the process (e.g., after less than 1 year).

There are 6 rounds in total. The first round was online data structure, followed by system design. Data structure focused mostly on trees and graphs. System design was tough, with a focus on scalability and creating a large enterprise app.

The interview took place through Amazon Chime. I was asked to first introduce myself, then was given a technical question, and finally some behavioral questions. Overall, it took 45-60 minutes.

For the first time in a while, the world has seen the most dramatic changes to its history. The most dramatic change is that the world has been transformed into a world of its own.
