Horrible process and please don't waste your time with this. After spending 12 hours of total interview time (both in person and virtual loops) and (writing a sample as well), then, no offer. I am very disappointed and wasted my time (active interview time and preparation) only for being a test subject for Amazon's new interview program which someone is always watching you during the interviews.

Tell me about a time when you go above and beyond the customer?
Pretty standard big tech interview process without exercises. Four behavioral interviews, one bar raiser interview loop, and you submit a portfolio of writing work. If you don't have a portfolio, you complete writing tasks and submit them.

Me postulé a través de un reclutador. El proceso tomó 5 días. Acudí a una entrevista en Amazon (Lexington, SC) en jul 2022
Entrevista
I was contacted by a recruiter and a phone screen was set up with a senior writer. I had prepared extensively, but she asked none of the questions almost experts say Amazon asked. I thought the interview could go either way, but did not think I was able to get across my experience in an effective way.

A lot of “tell meabout a time.” The questions were always seemingly very similar. I was not asked about the 16 principles Amazon tells you to know inside and out.

I was referred by an AWS employee. The scheduling process was a nightmare. The actual interview took place over the phone with the manager and one other tech writer.
It was 90 minutes of unrelenting "Tell us about a time when ..." questions. Ninety minutes. Every single question I was asked began "Tell me about a time when ..." It was almost robotic.
An hour into it, I decided I was no longer interested in working on a team with such an unimaginative manager. Afterwards I googled "AWS job interview questions" and guess what came up? That's right, "Tell me about a time ..."
