AWS Enterprise Sales Rep interview tips?

Nov 1, 2021 4 Comments

Asking for a friend that’s is going through the process for this role

Can anyone shed some light on what type of questions they ask or what to prepare for?

What level can be expected if they’re asking for 7+ YOE? L5 or L6?

Also how many rounds do they typically do and how long does the interview loop take?

Any help would me much appreciated thanks!

    It’s hard to say if it’ll be L5 or L6, because it’s not just based on years of expedience. If he/she knocks the interview out of the park, then could go L6, but I would imagine they will try to push down to a L5, unless it goes amazing and they really need to fill the role. Typically it’ll be phone screen with recruiter, then another interview screen with someone from the org (the leadership principle based questions will begin during this interview), so don’t take it casually. Then, if that goes well, they’ll set you up for the final loop which will be virtual also; during the loop you’ll talking to 5-6 different people and will be asked to block out 5-6 hours for that day (so an hour or so per person), and they’ll each prob ask you 2-3 questions where you’ll need to answer in STAR format, tying into your experience/stories. So, definitely read up on the principles and also how to formulate star based stories.

      This is correct. If it’s for a senior ae then it should be L6. They give you a ton of information to review and study prior to the interviews. I passed the first round and they did say that is usually the hardest one but I know the next loop will be harder. Best of luck… it’s not a piece of cake by any means…. Just do your homework. I believe AWS is on a hiring spree for sales right now as well.

    Memorize those leadership principles. You should know the AWS products well. They do mock sales presentations.
