What are the focus areas for interviewing with dynamodb team ? Is the interview any different from other Amazon interviews ? This is for swe role with dynamodb team at Palo Alto.
It's fairly consistent regardless of the team within the variation of the individual interviewers. You (should) rarely be asked implementation details of a specific language/framework/vm unless you already alluded to being an SME in them.
Bar is same across Amazon. For internal transfer the interview is quite similar to other aws teams, not sure for lateral hire interviewz
Is there a lot of emphasis on distributed systems, protocols and jvm internals ?
