It's pretty well documented at this point. There are leadership principal questions where they are checking to see that you exhibit personality traits that they value and there is also quiz you on some questions. If you are able to get through the screener then you probably won't really struggle with the questions on the actual interview.

Question 1
How do you exhibit their leadership principals + several problems to undertake
Very tough. Field unrelated questions
Friendly recruiters and flexible schedules. Rapid fire rounds. Tough assessment and criteria. Would try to clear the next time. Interviewers are knowledgeable and keen to know your thought process
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon in Jul 2022
Interview
In the past month I've been contacted by 3 different Amazon Recruiters for various positions ranging from Data Engineer, to AI/ML, to SDE.
For the Data Engineer contact I responded I was interested about 90 minutes after the ping. I was ghosted and a month later got a "I don't have that position any longer."
For the AI/ML position I indicated that my AI/ML is a bit light, they asked for a resume, and then I was ghosted. Honestly that's understandably not a perfect fit, but an acknowledgement of receipt would be the professional approach.
Then I was contacted for an SDE. In fact I received the same form email twice within a 30 minute span, never a great sign. I put time on their calendar, sat on Chime, and no one joined. I emailed while waiting and got a response 45 minutes later with no explanation other than "are you available tomorrow" I said yes, they proposed a time, I agreed, and they ghosted me, again.
So that's 3 strikes. Arguably the most unprofessional and incompetent recruiting division in the industry. Am I to assume a sub-par hiring process also leads to a sub-par workforce? Being the first and most basic step in the interview process, this is a really bad look for Amazon.

Question 1
Can't get to interview questions without a competent recruiter to get candidates into interviews.
