Was pretty intense and tiring although I expected it to be like that. Passed through several phone interviews. Last interview was in person. They flew me to Seattle and paid for everything including pretty expensive hotel. I was given an option to stay for extra couple of days to get familiar with Seattle on Amazon's expense. Interview started from 10:30 AM and finished by 5 PM with 1 hour lunch brake. I had 7-8 individual interviews during that day. I talked to both groups of 2-4 people as well as individuals. Some of people we silent listeners, some of them actively participated in the interview process. Everybody was taking a lot of notes. I was asked sometimes the same question several times. I guess, it is difficult to sync between teams or they probed me whether I'll give them different answers? Got a lot of questions about people management, soft management skills. One of the interviews was completely dedicated to architecture so I needed to come up with high-level design of future Amazon sub-system. I think interview process was professional. I used lunch as a opportunity to talk to one of the Amazon employees and it was very helpful: I learned a lot about company itself (wasn't the person who interviewed me). Got a call from recruiter 4 days later that they are not ready to give me an offer. However they encouraged to try other positions in the company in half a year.

Phone screen, 5 1 hour interviews for loop Each hour was dedicated to 2 LPs. System design was more collaborative than i anticipated which was a pleasant surprise. The phone screen mostly focused on my previous experiences
