What your day will look like


 You will meet with 4-7 Amazonians. However, interview schedules can change often, so we
appreciate your flexibility. This mix of interviewers will include managers and peers that make
up the technical team.

 Your meetings will be back-to-back interviews approximately 45 – 60 minutes each. The majority
of your interviews will be one on one. These conversations will be in depth discussions around
technologies from your background and the job description.

Interview tips
 Know what interests you about Amazon Web Services and what team you will be interviewing with.
Take some time to review the AWS Site and our official AWS blog or blogs run by the AWS
team members like All Things Distributed, or Perspectives.
 Review the job description you will be interviewing for, and reflect on your experience using similar
 technologies.
 Our in person loops can be more in-depth than the types of questions asked during our
phone screens.

Additional Tips for Technical roles


 Visit Topcoder, CodeChef or similar websites for example coding questions.
 Please be prepared to answer detailed technical questions on concepts like data-structures and
algorithms. This most likely will include qualifying requirements and white boarding your
 solutions with our engineers.
 Be prepared to discuss technologies listed on your resume – for example if you list Java or C++,
you should expect technical questions about your experience with these technologies.
