The interview was broken down into mostly 2 parts: System Design and Situational questions based on Amazon Leadership principles. 3 interviewers asked me system design questions like: 1. design a database schema for a certain configuration manager 2. Design a service that can handle hundreds of thousand transactions to be executed at a very specific time of the day (think about scale and error conditions) 3. Another question was about a real life problem that the interviewing team was having. I was asked to come up with a viable solution, design the system for the solution and define the APIs for each box (service) in my solution. The other 3 interviewers mostly asked situational questions based on 1 or more Amazon leadership principles. Note, the interviewer will not reveal which leadership principle they are probing on.
Q: Can you tell me about a time you were right and everyone else was wrong?
Tell me about a time when you disagreed with somebody
How to improve efficiency
In the final round every interviewer asked me a failure question and "tell me when you had a complex problem" question. That was a bit unexpected since I thought their questions would at least vary a bit. Even though I had answers to those questions, I did not have 5 different examples. Prepare many examples!
