Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Tell me about a time where you used data to solve a problem.
Scripted, for specific words. But that also makes it clear what to expect. Practice with the available stories and you are set. All questions are tell me about a time style so prepare well. The system engineering questions are straightforward but prepare to dig deep. Overall, so much info is available that with enough practice you should be ok
I applied online, got feedback via email that I was selected for 1st stage interview, provided available timeslots across next 4 weeks or so, then the call was scheduled. All well organized and professional.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Technical/academic questions that seemed to be not related to the role - but around my resume. I didn't like that the interview didn't match (at all :-)) their interview prep guidelines (no behavioral questions etc.) but I appreciated that Amazon designated a very senior guy to spend 1hr just on a screening call.
