Difficult interview
Application
I applied online. I interviewed at Amazon (Boston, MA) in Jan 2022
Interview
Had three rounds of interviews, not including the online assessment before the first one:
- phone screening with an HR personnel. Just asking general questions regarding your experiences and tools you’ve used in previous projects
- technical interview. This for me happened through phone while sharing code online. Didn’t need to show faces, but I heard it’s not the same for everyone. My interviewer was a really nice guy, I don’t think I did well but he was very understanding and supportive throughout the process.
- panel interview with 5 different people. One hour with each of them. I got to pick the time and how many interviews I wanted to have in a day (all in one or divide them up into two days). I’m pretty sure the hiring manager loved talking to me. He had a stone cold face in the beginning but ended up rooting for me by the end of the interview with quite some dramatic body language/gestures. Amazing personality. The “raise the bar” guy was pretty nice too but I couldn’t tell how he felt about me. He’s good at interviewing and having discussions but also pretty good at hiding his feelings (or maybe I just wasn’t impressive enough). Then 3 more guys from the team asking me more technical questions. Honestly I wasn’t so happy about the questions being asked because they were extremely technical for the position I applied. I did not see the need to be able to know those answers, because otherwise I should be applying for a dev job. But anyway they felt like they’re great people to work with, my answers in those 3 meetings might have lowered my score at the end.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
In one of the technical interviews in the last rounds of panel interviews, one question was something along the line of “if you’re a manager of a developer team, how would you design the system for a global project (with some details of the project)?”
Amazon sent me an Online assessment for a Quality Assurance Engineer. It included questions related to day to day activities in Amazon. After that scheduled a 1 hour phone interview.
I applied through a staffing agency. I interviewed at Amazon (Bengaluru)
Interview
Nothing related to qa activities only focus on data structure and logics, it was mostly like development interview
Also few questions on project contribution and efforts
If to through interview must not only be technical but pinch of luck should favour
