My initial interview was very professional by a senior member of the company and was actually inspiring. I felt like this was a great company with a great mission. The second interview was scheduled for a technical test but the interviewer decided to change that and just ask me some general questions. It felt like I was being rejected before we even began. I am humble enough to recognize that I just didn't meet the bar even answering some simple questions - I'd be interested if anyone else had a similar experience.

Applied through recruiter. Interview process was as follows: + Intro call with talent acquisition. + Intro call with technical director (UK). + Take-home assignment (build an API). Then a series of Zoom panel interviews either over a day or 2 days: + 45min Coding test (using codeinterview.io, model a Lightbulb and Lightswitch). + 45min Call with tech director (UK) discussing assignment, CV, Amazon behaviour questions. + 45min Call with tech director (USA) discussing CV, Amazon behaviour questions. + 15min Call with talent acquisition. It was a longer than average process but all interviewers were friendly and knowledgeable. Advice I'd give- be comfortable writing raw code without the aid of an IDE. Have concrete examples ready for the Amazon behaviour questions- the STAR model responses are expected. Keep the conversation going, ensure you are contributing enough to the discussions.
