Question 1
Technical questions: How do you manage dependencies in a project? How do you handle technical debt in a project? Can you explain the difference between vertical and horizontal scaling? Behavioral questions (based on Amazon's Leadership Principles): Tell me about a time when you had to deal with a difficult stakeholder. How did you handle the situation? Describe a situation where you had to dive deep into a technical problem to resolve an issue.
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Amazon Web Services (Atlanta, GA) in Feb 2022
Interview
Difficult process. Two screens, then the loop which included five interviews. I thought all but one of the "loop" interview went well, and that person seem determined to trip me up.

I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Amazon Web Services (Atlanta, GA) in Jun 2022
Interview
First a recruiter reached out and tried to explain what to expect from the interview.
The interviewer didn't seem to be someone who had been in the field for long and probably didn't get what I was saying since she was probably going by a book. I had interviewed for the same role somewhere else and got the job.
