Amazon Alexa is a cool but frustrating place
Amazon Alexa is a cool but frustrating place
The Alexa division of Amazon has lots of cool opportunities, and in just a few years, I got to touch all sorts of parts of the system and learn all sorts of new technologies.
It's a big place that expects a lot but gives little structure. Lots of bureaucracy and shuffling around of departments.

It was three rounds of interviews. Each interviewer was in charge of two leadership principles to ask applicants, on top of some technical questions. My technical question was a LeetCode Hard one.

I applied through a recruiter. 15-minute phone screen which was simple, followed by a 2.5-hour online exam the next week. Coding portion was on HackerRank, and contained dynamic programming questions. Quite difficult, recommend practicing for a coup
