AWS Elemental Interview Questions

I had a six hour interview. Every hour there was a different set of interviewers which asked different technical questions. The last hour was when I got to talk to the potential manager. The questions were hard, and the interview process was very disorganized. The recruiter that was supposed to take me to lunch was missing, as well as the interviewer for the next hour after lunch. Both interviews were conducted by other people at the last minute.

Had a 1hr phone screen and then they wanted me to come in-person. I didn't make it to the in-person part, I guess I wasn't a good fit. The interviewer seemed new to this, and didn't want to go off-script from their questions or the phone screen format. It also felt like there were a lot of interviews to get through. The questions were generally pretty vague, except for the coding part, which was really specific and tough to finish in the time given.

Applied online and heard back pretty fast from the recruiter. First up was a technical phone screen with a senior dev. The questions were straightforward, just checking basic understanding and knowledge for the role. After passing that, I went through Amazon's SDE application process, since they're integrating more after the acquisition. It was pretty much what you'd find online about Amazon's process. Finished that, and got notified about the rejection not too long after. Everyone I talked to was nice and the recruiter was on top of things.
