Candidate-reported interview process
A recruiter reached out and we talked about my availability for a call. After that, the interview started with me introducing myself and answering some questions about the job. It seemed to go okay, but I never heard back.
It was tough but nothing too surprising. You need to know AWS services really well and how to put them together. Certs alone won't cut it, hands-on experience is key.
My interview experience at AWS was quite interesting. It involved a combination of project-based questions and LeetCode problems, which were on the medium to hard side. Overall, it was a good experience.
