I interviewed at Amazon Web Services (Seattle, WA)
Interview
The interview process was rigorous and well-structured. It began with an online assessment testing data structures and algorithms. This was followed by a phone screening with a software engineer. The final round included four back-to-back virtual interviews covering system design, behavioral questions based on the Leadership Principles, and coding challenges. Overall, the process was intense but professionally conducted.

Question 1
Describe a time you had to make a tough technical decision with limited information.
disappointing. I asked for a delay, and did not get a reply. I only got answered after 3 months that it was not relevant. I'm still confused and don't understand why there was no reply, Thinking about trying again, maybe second time is lucky.
