I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Amazon (Dallas, TX) in Jan 2021
Interview
Fair but tough.
Presales SA Role- Virtual TX -Public Sector.
The recruiter reached out to me on LinkedIn. I applied on 12/30/20 & got a call 12/31/20.
I did the online assessment with the below break down.
I think I scored a yellow, since my next step was a technical phone screen on 01/13/21. Technical Phone Screen was 80 % broad sweep of technical concepts. Started off as 20 % Behavioral+ Leadership Principles oriented. (HINT: Check out Dan Croiter videos on Youtube) ex. Why do you want to work at AWS? ex. Tell me about a time you made a mistake and your manager gave you feedback?
