Question 1
How would you prepare ahead of launching a new live feature?
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 months. I interviewed at Amazon Web Services (Cape Town)
Interview
Several stages of the process, meeting with HR, multiple meetings with technical engineers, and management people. The whole process was a bit confusing, several HR agents contacted me. The technical interviews are mainly programming exercises and architecture discussions. There is a big round of interviews at the end for cultural fit.
