Candidatei-me de outra forma. O processo levou 2 semanas. Fiz uma entrevista na empresa Amazon (Seattle, WA).
Entrevista
Was reached out to by the hiring manager of one of the AWS teams. Did a coffee with him, then we scheduled a technical phone screen. Screen was thorough (about 3 coding questions and some java trivia) and the interviewer did a good job. We then scheduled the on-site, they were very flexible with times, and let me take as much time as I needed.
Onsite was a standard technical screen that you'd get at any of the large tech firms, decent amount of coding with lots of system design, which is standard for senior engineers. Know your leadership principles, they are important at Amazon and you will be evaluated based on them.
Sent me a very strong offer which I weighed against other offers that I had and accepted.
Only feedback I'd have is make sure your recruiters turn things around quickly when candidates have pending offers, I had to follow up quite a bit to move things along.

Pergunta 1
I'm under an NDA, so I can't provide any questions.
However, do standard technical interview prep and really understand Amazon's culture and leadership principles, they will come up and they are important (you can fail interviews even if you are likable and do well technically if you don't have good answers here).

Recruiter send me an OA and even I did'nt attend it yet, she told me that I failed. After some research they notice they screen my previous OA result. I don't like this lack of system.

Entrevista
First there was the recruiter interview to gather some information. Followed by 5 rounds "on-site remote" with average difficulty, but with some poor performing interviewers. Got denied and was promised feedback but got ghosted.

Entrevista
Typical Amazon procedure: recruiter reaches out. This time, instead of just clicking the delete button, I was actually intrigued with the team: their LEO satellite group.
Pretty much breezed through the HR interview, and then proceeded to the first-round screen. I aced the coding part, and thought I said everything they wanted to hear (coding solution, the (now 16, used to be 14!) Leadership Principles they seem to drink like Kool-Aid over there. Signs pointed to going to the next round of interviewing.
Alas, they passed on me, while continuing to hide behind their veil of non-accountability. Well, I'm done with these Darwin clowns. There are many other good opportunities out there, that are NOT Amazon!

Linked-list question (aced it)
Find all 2x2 sub-arrays inside a larger array (didn't get to that, but I'm sure it's on Leetcode somewhere).
Post-word: I got approached by Amazon twice since then. No thanks!
