I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Toronto, ON)
Interview
Straightforward interview, no coding, discussion on technical projects and in-depth focus on leadership principles. Focused a lot on ML/data science type questions for the technical. Interviewers were pleasant and were helpful when you didn't know an answer
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What is the difference between a list and a set in python?
The interview consisted of many behavioural questions that I needed to rely on the STAR method in order to answer. It was an online video interview due to the COVID outbreak. The interview was broken into three parts:
1. The interviewer told me a little about Amazon and their role to put me at ease
2. Section of the interview where I was asked questions
3. Section of the interview where I was able to ask questions
