Hey Im the friend lol I got the AWS reachout
I have the final coming up on monday
but it was the usual process of OA -> final
yeah I did
yeahh
but
i technically had 2 OA's
so i had one OA bc of normal amazon sde and then another one bc of the aws one
but I only took one and it applied to both
yes
yeah
two oa invites but only took one
do you have the aws final coming up?
ah I see
is it katie howard?
oh okay probably diff recrutiers then
yeah
they sent me a form to fill out
did u get that too?
how long does it usually take?
DAMN
lol
sheesh
well if it's just normal one should be enough time
yeahh that doesnt add up lol
im pretty sure the process is similar to normal Amazon in that it is OA -> final. only difference I see is that my final is 60 mins and normal zon is just 45 mins
i think just one
but im not 100% sure
oh yeah it's diff for some roles
someone with QA got 2x60
loll nah he just misunderstood
i just told him lmao
well i had to follow up with her but like 2-3 weeks
i just got the offer btw
took the interview yesterday and offer received this morning
NICE
no she she had me fill out a security clearance eligibilty form before I even took the final
yeah i dont think it's needed for before either
I just got it today
How was the final
Was it technical question and then behavioral
Amazon final (AWS NatSec team):
Started off with standard behavioral, introduction, and LP related question (time you took on a task that went beyond your normal responsibilities etc etc) for 30 mins
Then did the technical portion was Leetcode best time to buy and sell a stock with a variation to return the actual best days instead of the profit and return NULL if there was no profit
🐐
yeah actually they did lol
🐐
yeah definitely seattle lol
is seattle higher $$$$$
nah it's the same hourly but more housing
shiiii
Possibly interim, and then the full ts after?
@lusty zenith @distant needle do you know if the background check for this position is different than the normal amazon one (like contact previous employers or drug test)
Not sure if Amazon contacts previous employees but yes the background check for this is more bc of the security clearance
how soon after offer did they start your background check?
It started before I got the offer
the security clearance or Accurate background check (the one Amazon uses)?
I thought they usually wait for you to accept before doing a background check
Oh yeah the security clearance eligibility started before I got the offer
Yeah I’m not sure about the background check they haven’t said anything about that to me
ah the form?
according to the amazon server this is the timeline
Yes
Oh okay
I just got my offer on Friday so I’m still waiting for next steps
did your recruiter mention if this could be done in the fall instead of summer? wondering since that email you sent seemed open-ended with start/end date
nah the job application specified that it was from may to august
damn
which dates did you pick?
May 20th to august 9th
oh I was looking into seattle housing and found some universities but they only have it starting mid-june
yeah UW semester ends in mid june
@lusty zenith were your interviewers initials V R?
Nope
Did you get any sys design questions @lusty zenith ? My recruiter said to look up the parking lot example as prep
Nope I didn’t
It’s actually insane if my interviewer asks for sys design
NatSec specifically
@lusty zenith what does your portal show for this position?
like under consideration, offer, etc
It actually says no longer under consideration loll
Even though I’m already in the onboarding process 😭
yeah i heard that the portal is not accurate for team/program specific positions like this one
Yeah it isn’t
Just onboarding stuff and background checks
Yea and living history and credit check I think
Nah
does that mean they r giving no more offers
anyone interview and still waiting for results?
Ye
I had mine last Friday
Oh what the
Amazon Web Services (AWS) internships are full-time (40 hours/week) for 12 consecutive weeks during summer. By applying to this position, your application will be considered for Arlington, VA.This position requires that the candidate selected be a U.S. citizen and be able to obtain/maintain an active TS/SCI security clearance with polygraph at t...
Tf
Same position but just sde
Intern
Same
did anyone hear\ back today
Does that message show up for Amazon jobs or Amazon student programs? It says under consideration for me on the regular Amazon jobs site
Granted my interview was only on Friday^
Ok cool. Just confirming lol
Ah gotcha. When did you interview?
Ah so mine may update tomorrow I guess
is this the case even if you get the offer
okay i was just confused since i got an offer but it said no longer under consideration
but other amazon interns have their position in the portal
Do you remember what time it updated on Thursday? Been hearing it usually updates 6pm pst
Oh so aws could be anytime?
How long after your interview did your portal update?
idk i didn’t check
do you know if the 5/20 start date is still avaliable?
i have no idea
do they ask you the preferred location and dates?
i didn’t get asked
yeah because i applied specifically for arlington
Any updates for yall?
They bringing me on a two week edging streak
Yuh
Or like
This is my 2nd week
Is it some hc issue?
R they like waiting to finish all the rest of the interviews and then give us decision?
Idk about hc but I know we won’t be affected by it since it’s team dependent and we’re aws and not the general sde interns
Ah
Do yk how many people have interviewed for natsec and how many teams there are?
Don’t think I’ve seen more than like 5 or 6 people interviewing for natsec across this server, csm, and the official Amazon server
Oh I see
Don’t think so
i just followed up and my recruiter said i should be hearing back within a few days and asked for my location preferences
the natsec posting only had virginia and seattle but she sent me like every location which is weird
My recruiter been saying the few days part since last week
Wait does that mean u got offer tho
Cuz your recruiter asking u for location
yea ive been waiting for almost 2 weeks now
idts bcuz she only asked for location preferences
How long after your interview did you follow up with your recruiter?
last monday and today, so i followed up twice
3-5 business days for the first followup
mhm
feel bad bcuz i feel like ive been annoying her a bunch
yea
I feel like the recruiter don’t know what’s going on as well idk
true she originally told me i wld get results last week
Same here
I just got location pref
May have asked you this before, but how many business days after your interview did it show up as “no longer under consideration”?
@vivid raven I’m in the same situation
I just got the location pref email after like 2 weeks which doesn’t make sense to me cause I thought natsec was specific to Seattle or Arlington
Maybe natsec filled and they’re considering us for general sde?
r AWS ppl getting waitlisted
it could be something like this, because the NatSec posting got "NatSec" removed from the position title
Not me
How many rounds was it? @distant needle was it just OA and then final?
gotcha so you got the offer?
When was your interview?
@vivid raven when was your interview?
did you guys all get moved to No Longer Under Consideration? or only some of you
Did A C email u
nope
how long from interview to location consideration to offer
~2 weeks for location and 2 days for offer?
got exact same email
R they team matching yg with other teams then or yg alr got offer
Ok ig same thing as location pref
Like 2 days
Wait so yg guaranteed offer then basically
hopefully
i asked for location options and got this same list
said team match might take like a week
Idk still waiting to hear back
Well it was but u want to move it back a few weeks
They don’t give u choices
Yea 5/20 is default
Until Aug 9th
Yea I go to a quarter school 😭😭
Ahhh ok I’ll see when he responds
Hopefully tmr
Interviewed this morning and recruiter called & emailed saying that natsec is full so i'm being considered for other AWS positions, so pretty much same thing you guys mentioned above. Anyone have luck asking for Fall?
wait I just got offer letter for natsec though 💀 now Im confused
main recruiter ive been talking to is BK, offer email I got was from KH
but my other recruiter said natsec was full and id get team matched, so idk what's going on lol
yeah there's offer letter attached, role says "Software Development Engineer Intern - ADC, located in WAS17, Arlington, VA."
Ok i think offer letter prob right
acc she may have just used the wrong email because this date is definitely wrong lmao
yeah, "This offer and all terms of employment stated in this letter will expire April 3, 2024."
probs because it's so close to summer
wait did u interview and get offer on same day
yup lol, pretty surprised
guessing either someone reneged natsec role or maybe recruiter copy pasted the team matching on accident
or both
yup
