What happens when most of your team is Indian?
I don't think anyone would say the Amazon loop is technically more difficult at the same level, at least on average. However, what I consider "easy" may not be easy for everybody - the addition of a lot of leadership principles/behavioral interviewing seems to confuse a lot of engineers who are just prepared for leetcode and system design.
Yeah I feel behavioral interviews tend to get overlooked a bit. What worked for me will was to prepare some stories and run them by a few friends. The bad thing about them is there a lot of room for exaggeration that can't be verified.
Sure, that's true. But good interviewers probe deeper and look for variety across examples used in all your interviews. Shallow fibs are harder to execute successfully than you might think. A truly well executed series of lies demonstrating all of Amazon's leadership principles would be pretty impressive. Maybe a bit sociopathic. But at least it shows you have seriously internalized the relevant Kool aid.
