hi all, i have an upcoming interview with Amazon EC2 for a L6 role. - How is the Phone Screen? - How is the onsite? - WLB in the PM Org? - How’s the leadership? - What should be my expected comp? Current Role: PM2 @ Microsoft TC: 160K (Base + Yearly Cash + Yearly Stock)
Hi There... Working in Amazon depends on the team and Manager. I had terrible managers to start with ( 4 managers in first 8 months) who made my life miserable. When I was planning to quit, I had a new manager (5th one) and he is one of the best person I ever worked with. Regarding your questions 1. Phone screen : To test your skill set per your resume. 2 Leadership Principles (LP) and one design question. 2. Onsite: 4 rounds of LP, one design question and one lunch interview. Each round is 50 mins with 10 mins break. 3. WLB depends on the hiring team. It is extremely fast paced and you will be working with distributed teams. AWS is hard and Alexa is okay. Rest fall in between. 4. Leadership : Amazon leaders are visionary and committed to organizations success. 5. Expected Comp : You can expect between 180 to 220 (Base + RSU). Every year 1 to 5% hike depending on your performance.
