I interviewed at Amazon Web Services (San Francisco, CA)
Interview
Recruiter is not interested in what fits the candidate best, was not interested to hear what I was looking for at all. I declined to proceed in the process. Overall it's just another mass hiring enterprise.
I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Amazon Web Services (Seattle, WA)
Interview
First I got an email from Recruiter asking for a call. During the call I answer default interview questions and was moved to an Online Assessment to be done in 7 days through HackerHank.
The online assessment was 2 questions, one medium and another hard. In the medium question, I had 8/14 tests passed, and 4/14 tests passed in the hard one. Then I didn't move forward.
