I interviewed at Amazon Web Services (Seattle, WA)
Interview
The interview was largely behavioral questions, but I as must say the interviewer who was an Asian made it hard for me. I had to repeat myself severally for her to take notes.

Question 1
She spent half of the time asking about my previous experience which I took time to answer. I realize she had no knowledge about my previous industry which was the public sector.
I applied online. I interviewed at Amazon Web Services (Washington, DC) in Jan 2026
Interview
Pretty intensive on behavioral. They challenged your thought process on situational reasoning and had you making decisions that you may have never thought of. It was overall pretty interesting, pretty long as well.
