I applied online. I interviewed at Amazon Web Services (Berlín) in Jul 2025
Interview
The interview started off quite well. There was a brief introduction from the interviewer, who was a really cool and laid-back person. Overall, the entire process from being contacted by the recruiter about the job, to applying, completing the online assessment, going through HR screening, and attending the first 75-minute interview, was a great experience.
However, due to an eye injury, I couldn’t fully concentrate during the interview, as one of my eyes was bandaged. The interviewer noticed that I was having trouble focusing and kindly offered to reschedule. That was very thoughtful of them. Now, I’m scheduled to be interviewed again in August.

I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Amazon Web Services (Tel Aviv)
Interview
Build an architecture like netflix, explain why you selected the services that you selected. why do you want to work for AWS. how do you work with customers. why you and not others
The most horrible interview process ever. Highly unprofessional, came with degree prejudice. The interviewer was just looking for reason to reject based on candidates background instead of asking any real relevant technical questions. Technical got changed to review walk through on the spot.
