I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Amazon Web Services (Dresden) in Feb 2024
Interview
I had a recommendation from a friend who worked there. I submitted a CV, but it was immediately rejected by the application system and required a manual intervention to re-approve. For the rest, the process was fairly normal for AWS: 5 interviews, focused on Amazon leadership principles. Initial interviews had some coding tasks on the level of "write a linked list".
The HR was very nice.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
How did I resolve a conflict situation at my previous work.
disappointing. I asked for a delay, and did not get a reply. I only got answered after 3 months that it was not relevant. I'm still confused and don't understand why there was no reply, Thinking about trying again, maybe second time is lucky.
