3x60. first was mix of behavioral and coding, but coding focused more on writing clean code rather than optimizing. second was 2 leetcode style questions. third was all behavioral

[vale patio]

sometime last week

[vale patio]

US

[honest ridge]

Did you get OOD question?

[vale patio]

Boston

[foggy mango]

How did you feel about your behavior round ?

[vale patio]

no

[vale patio]

felt pretty good. probably the strongest part

[viscid cloud]

Was it on thursday/friday?
I am waiting for my result too

[honest ridge]

Also what does clean code mean 🤔 making sure the code works? And not about optimization

Also was your behavioral resume focused or LP focused

[vale patio]

yes

[viscid cloud]

Thats great! Congratulations 🥳

[vale patio]

like the problem was very easy, so i'm not entirely sure what they were evaluating me on. i'd assume it's making sure i'm not overcomplicating the solution and writing code that's easy to change and read

[vale patio]

LP

[vale patio]

thank you!

[foggy mango]

Did you receive any feedback or good indications during your interviews?

[vale patio]

not really, besides the occasional "that's great to hear, sounds like you learned a lot from taht experience"

[foggy mango]

Nice , congrats btw!

[vale patio]

thanks!!

[whole coral]

Firstly congrats!!
How did you prepare for the LPs
Do you prepare an answer for each of the LPs?

[vale patio]

i just thought of stories throughout my last 4 years. Any notable experiences I have been engaged in, and any conflicts or difficulties I faced in them

[tired tree]

how did you feel about the leetcode style questions?

[potent saffron]

i wanted to ask did you prepare stories for every leadership principle? and also were your LC questions from the amazon tagged?

[potent saffron]

and the LC is it white board coding? so they wont actually run your code right

[wintry spade]

were u put in boston automatically or did u get a questionnaire for location preferences

i put boston as first choice

[vale patio]

did well on one of them, didn't fully solve the other

[vale patio]

no i didn't. LC questions were not tagged

[vale patio]

yes

[vale patio]

i filled out a questionnaire. boston was not first pref, but it's the only one offered to me

[wintry spade]

ah icic

[hexed granite]

@vale patio what team is it for? did you know during the interview or do they only tell you after accepting the offer?

[vale patio]

I was told ahead of time it's for AWS

[hexed granite]

how early?

[vale patio]

when i got my interview invite

[clever lake]

@vale patio any last minute tips for someone who has theirs tmmrw

[wintry spade]

are there flexible start dates or do u start right away

[vale patio]

they gave me a date, and i asked if i could join earlier. they allowed me to join 1 week earlier if i sign my offer sooner

[vale patio]

have some stories ready to go and make sure you specify the impact you delivered. for programming, explain your thought process. the interviewers are truly there to help you so if you're stuck, they can more easily help if you talk through what you're doing. you are not necessarily going to fail if you can't solve the problem, but you will fail if you can't explain what you were doing or what you were attempting. there should not be an extended period of time where you are not speaking. most importantly, relax and be confident. good luck, you got this!

[foggy mango]

Is it terrible if you struggle a bit in LP interview round? Aka struggle to answer one of the LPs

[vale patio]

hard to say since i don't know how they evaluate. but if you answer most of them well and do fine on the programming, you should be fine. they're not looking for perfection

[viscid cloud]

At what stage did you fill out the ques for location?

[clever lake]

cool cool ty, so just keep communicating what ur thinking/doing, how many distinct LP stories should i have is it 4 or 5?

[potent saffron]

was ur first prefs seattle or bay area?

[barren dirge]

thx for sharing info. around how many follow-ups per question did u get asked for LP stuff?

[vale patio]

when i got invited for interview

[vale patio]

yeah i'd say that's a good target

[vale patio]

bay area was not an option. i put bellevue as #1 (seattle was not an option either)

[clever lake]

wait when was the questionarre

sent out

i think i filled one out when i applied not sure tho

[vale patio]

I got it with my interview invite iirc

[clever lake]

o ye i did not

[viscid cloud]

In the survey? They didn’t ask me anything about location lol

[clever lake]

wat do u wear to virtual interviews like this

[wintry spade]

tank top

[clever lake]

is OOP done in python or do u guys use java for that?

[potent saffron]

my recruiter sent me an email with location preferences the same day I received my OA, did you get this questionnaire?

[clever lake]

oh we got different positions

[vale patio]

mines was slightly different, and most of the locations were different

[clever lake]

[potent saffron]

[clever lake]

[potent saffron]

[tardy glade]

[honest ridge]

I am pretty sure you can use what you prefer

[vale patio]

[hoary cloud]

@vale patio were you ever in contact with a specific recruiter or did you just get emails from a general amazon student programs team?

[vale patio]

specific recruiter

[hoary cloud]

when did they first contact you? bc i’ve only gotten emails from general asp which is slightly concerning ….

[vale patio]

when I received my onsite invite. i mentioned the timelines at the top

[vocal basin]

@vale patio may i ask which school? just trying to understand if amazon is filtering only top schools?

[vale patio]

It's a T25 school

[torpid prawn]

[vale patio]
