I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon Web Services (São Paulo, ) in Nov 2021
Interview
2 rounds
- Screening interview: to identify fit to the position. Some questions were more difficult for someone not experienced on cloud, but it was not an issue.
- Loop (1 day) with 6 interviewers: all behavioral questions related to the leadership principles.
Hay varias rondas de entrevista. La ultima entrevista fueron 4 horas, 1 hora con 4 personas diferentes. Hicieron preguntas sobre diferentes metricas y experiencias laborales y habia que usar el metodo STAR para responder.

The standard (and lengthy) interview process by direct manager and 5 peers, each with their own sets of questions reviewing your past work and how it aligns with AWS leadership principles.

Question 1
Many questions covering past experiences (both positive and negative), with focused follow-ups on what you'd do differently, what you learned, and how you can apply these learnings to new situations.
I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Amazon Web Services (Toronto, ON) in Jun 2025
Interview
Painful and poorly managed but met some good people along the way. Most indicated they were not overly excited about AWS but didn’t mention leaving at all. HR was logistics coordinator for over 10 different meetings that took at least 3-4 days of time to prep and participate in.

Question 1
Asked me to make sure I responded using the STAR framework. I’m sure it makes it easier for the interviewers but a terrible way to run interviews.
