Candidate-reported interview process

Applied and completed some assessments. Then had a recruiter call where they explained the process, the job, the team, compensation, and my expectations. They also told me about further assessments. After those, I had another call about next steps, but then waited a month to hear back.

It's like the typical Amazon way, mixing leadership principles with technical questions. It's a panel interview, kinda short and awkward if you're not ready for the questions. They really dig into your stories, so you gotta prep those in detail beforehand.

they follow the STAR method & add numbers to every scenario choose a recent scenario & dont repeat situation within the interview. The key is aboyt clarifying all possible questions
