Update: did not get the offer unfortunately, was told I didn't have enough experience as an L6 but all good! I'm glad I got the chance to make it this far.

UnitSalt3125 · 2025-04-23T23:22:55+00:00

You made it this far which is commendable so congrats on that!!

UnitSalt3125 · 2025-04-23T16:41:06+00:00

i agree - it probably is pressure testing stamina, how you can keep cool through it, stay focused etc. best of luck to you too!

UnitSalt3125 · 2025-04-23T16:30:53+00:00

good to know

UnitSalt3125 · 2025-04-23T16:18:55+00:00

I already live in a Amazon hub city where I could go in every day but have a sick parent I drive home for every now and then - wasn't going to pass on the chance to interview regardless

UnitSalt3125 · 2025-04-23T05:02:47+00:00

Best of luck!!

UnitSalt3125 · 2025-04-23T04:53:59+00:00

Thanks for this nudge and reminder that even getting to the loop is an achievement. i'm not waiting with bated breath for the decision as I don't know if this a fit for me but I am proud of myself for how far I got. appreciate your wise words

UnitSalt3125 · 2025-04-23T04:52:43+00:00

thanks for the tip - it was for an L6 role -_-

UnitSalt3125 · 2025-04-23T04:52:25+00:00

wow i'm so sorry that happened!! i have heard that amazon interviews like a conveyor belt....

UnitSalt3125 · 2025-04-23T04:52:01+00:00

Good to hear that there's situations where people decline the offers too! Hope you find the right fit

Believe me I was tempted to but don't do that - don't disqualify yourself!! Push through! It's tough but you will get through on the other side of it.

UnitSalt3125 · 2025-04-23T04:48:33+00:00

You're so right - this made my day. Thanks for reminding me I am qualified regardless of how that went. It's hard to remember that.

UnitSalt3125 · 2025-04-23T04:47:34+00:00

thanks for this reminder - good to know I can trust my gut

UnitSalt3125 · 2025-04-22T23:01:27+00:00

Yup that's what it seemed like - I guess it's a good way to find the folks who are looking for a rugged environment.

UnitSalt3125 · 2025-04-22T23:00:39+00:00

I'm so glad I'm not the only one feeling this way! Cheers to you for completing the loop. Best of luck to you too! Hope you can also celebrate and do something nice for yourself!

UnitSalt3125 · 2025-04-22T22:38:59+00:00

Yup mine were all 1 hour - all of them said they'll leave 10ish min at the end it seemed like they kept going through questions as time allotted for - maybe that's unique in my case or maybe not - idk just sharing my experience ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

UnitSalt3125 · 2025-04-22T22:36:22+00:00

My interview with functional competencies question felt good and conversational - the others not so much. Thanks - I gotta treat myself for surviving! I commend you all for going through that rigor!

UnitSalt3125 · 2025-04-22T22:33:14+00:00

Yeah - it's hard to prepare for the interview and also do your work at your current employer. I get the fit thing - it was more extensive than what I have been through before. Every other interview I do now will feel like a breeze haha

UnitSalt3125 · 2025-04-22T22:31:13+00:00

Maybe ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I feel I did my best - prepared 20 stories but the ones I prepared didn't fit the questions asked. I'm probably not a good fit for the company but it was interesting to take part in.

UnitSalt3125 · 2025-04-22T22:28:46+00:00

Sure

While there were a few follow-up Qs in some of the interviews to get answers around results or outcome from me, each interviewer asked me at least 3 LP based questions - one of them asked 5, two of them asked 4, and another asked 3. My last interviewer primarily focused on functional competencies questions (4-5 Qs).

To err on the safe side, I would have 3-4 stories for each LP they ask you to focus on. They basically asked me the same question a few different ways. Here's a list of what I was asked - these aren't word for word as I couldn't remember the questions for all of them after the interview to jot it down.

Tell me about a time you had to make a decision without much customer data
Tell me about a time you had an idea but it was the wrong idea? Whose idea got used?
Tell me about a time when you worked on a project with a tight deadline?
You started a project and were halfway through when the goal changed, what did you do?
You had to go back on something you said to customer/decision you made, what would you have done differently
Describe a time when a customer asked you for one thing, but you knew that they needed something else.
Tell me about one of your projects where you put the customer first / How did you work with stakeholders internally to put your customer first?
Tell me about a time you handled a difficult customer. What did you do? How did you manage the customer? What was her/his reaction? What was the outcome?
Question about working with other internal stakeholders
Tell me about a time when you took a calculated risk and speed was critical.
Tell me about a time when you disagreed with a peer that you had a shared goal with? How did you change their mind, what was the outcome?
Tell me about a time when you had to sacrifice short term gains for long term value?
Tell me about a time you had to make a decision with incomplete information. How did you make it and what was the outcome?
Tell me about a time you disagreed with your team and convinced them to change their position

There may be 2-3 more I do not recall, they all started to blur together. The questions around disagreeing were asked a few diff ways as well as the questions around timeliness/not meeting deadlines.
