I was working in an AWS team, and the product that my team was working on is new and exciting. Amazon is at the forefront of the cloud computing area. For the short time I was there, I felt I was contributing to the product. The team was small, with decent work-life balance (people would finish working at around 7 p.m., sometimes people would leave earlier).
Location was good; I could live downtown Seattle and bike to work. Lockers and bike cages are available for biking to work.
None of the perks of the normal Internet companies. A lot of options for lunch in the areas around the campus, even if a bit expensive sometimes.
The interview process included an online coding assessment with two LeetCode questions, then a one-hour technical interview with one LeetCode question as well as some background questions. After that, I heard back from them in a few weeks.
Interview (one round): They asked some data structures and algorithms questions, and also some basic CS knowledge. I found it not easy at all. The market is really not doing well right now.
Coding OA -> One-way workplace OA -> Technical interview -> Offer. The technical interview was just a tagged LeetCode question (medium difficulty). The overall process took quite long. I got the OA late December, and the interview was in February.
