      Interview

      Reached out to Amazon Recruiter via LinkedIn. The Recruiter responded very quickly. After a Phone screen by the recruiter, got scheduled for a local Hiring-event in Cambridge. The interview was a typical 4-hour long event. 5 different sets of people, each chatting for about 45mins. I did 4 of the 5 okay...took a little longer to come up with the answer they were looking for in one case. Oh well...
