    The key takeaways are that interviews will consist of back-to-back 45-60 minute sessions with managers and peers, primarily focusing on the candidate's background and job description. Candidates should prepare by reviewing the role and company, practicing coding questions, and learning about AWS services and cloud computing fundamentals.

    A typical interview day will involve meeting with 4-7 Amazonians for in-depth discussions about the candidate's technical background and the job description. The majority of interviews will be one-on-one lasting 45-60 minutes each.

    For technical roles, candidates should visit sites like Topcoder or CodeChef to practice coding questions, and be prepared to discuss data structures, algorithms, and technologies listed on their resume. They may be asked to whiteboard solutions.

    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.
