Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What was your manager's negative feedback, and how did you handle it?
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon Web Services (Austin, TX) in Jul 2024
Interview
Applied online at the end of June. It is for the Specialist SA role. Received response from recruiter the following week. She sent me an OA assessment, once I cleared it she set me up for a phone screen.
The phone screen was with an AWS SA Leader and 1 Specialist SA shadowing. They grilled on the speciality area in depth. Received rejection in few hours. The recruiter was pretty communicative. I wish all AWS recruiters are like her. I'll prepare more and give another try few months later. Don't apply to the Specialist SA roles till you have mastered that specific area required for the role.

Mostly scenario based questions. It started with "What was the most recent project/task you did with this certain tool" and then they probed deep into my responses.
I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Amazon Web Services (Amsterdam) in Jan 2020
Interview
Na het insturen van je CV zal een recruiter contact opnemen voor een kort gesprek. In dit gesprek word vaak al een salarisindicatie gevraagd. Hierna wordt er in een online gesprek (phone screen) gekeken of je technisch geschikt ben om bij AWS te werken. Na een positieve aanbeveling van de interviewer wordt er een onsite/virtueel 5 gesprekken in gepland. Hierbij worden vooral gekeken naar de Leadership Principals. Ook dient er een assessment gemaakt te worden dit wordt besproken. Wanneer de kandidaat beter dan 50% van de huidige werknemers wordt gezien, zal er een aanbod door de recruiter worden gedaan.
