Recruiter Phone Screen 30 min 5hr loop with 5 different people. The interviewing questions were mapped to Amazons Leadership Principles. Every Interviewer was assigned 2 leadership principles. The interview is easier when you have your examples prepared to share.

Initial conversations were good and the scheduling/interview prep were great. The actual panel interviews were a complete waste of time in my opinion. It's my understanding that AWS follows Amazon's interview process in which you meet with 4-5 people for ~45 minutes to an hour (this was a few years ago so details are a bit hazy) and each covers one of AWS' values (they call it by something else that I can't recall offhand). You are expected to provide details on how your past experience aligns with the guiding principal. Lovely conversation with some really nice folks, but it was a stretch to tie to actual job proficiency. The icing on the cake was receiving an offer that was significantly below my current package even though I had been completely transparent from the beginning. Even the most junior recruiter should have flagged this and either not moved forward. T
