Me postulé en línea. El proceso tomó 4 meses. Acudí a una entrevista en Amazon (Santa Clara, CA) en sep 2024
Entrevista
While the process took almost 4 months from the application to the offer, I have gotten to meet some of the most professional people out there. Recruiters were always proactive, helpful with the preparation materials and overall guidance. The interviewers were engaging, respectful, and also were working together as if during an actual job.

at least 50% of my questions were behavioral and covered most of the leadership principles Amazon stands for. It was a senior position that requires being a leader from day one.
Initial screening call with recruiter followed by a 1 hr hacker rank question on DSA. The final round was a panel consisting of 4 interviews ranging from technical design, more DSA and behaviour questions.
