Behavioral
Plus: - The recruiter was really friendly and guided every single what to do and not to do, even though there are already hundreds of formal/informal Amazon interview tips on the internet. I could feel the genuine-ness from the recruiter wanting me to succeed. Cons: - It took unnecessarily long time to find possible time slots, there is no smart system to match your availability and the hiring manager's availability. Something you've seen at another tech company, and we are talking about Amazon here. - After the interview with the HM, 7 days later I got an email saying the position has just been closed. While I know it's a boilerplate answer, it'd be nice to point out small hints where the interview went wrong so we can improve. - While they push a lot on Leadership Principles, for me it was hard to see the HM showing or indicating any of those during the interview.

- - Mainly behavioral questions, that you can easily find on the internet.
