Recruiter will brief you on what to expect for onsite. Really helpful stuff actually. No pressure

Remember to jot down the details. Basically all logistic stuff. The recruiter will explain the interview schedule, and which LPs will be asked in which session. If I remember correctly, during the interview you are allowed to bring notes that are related to your STAR stories. That's what my recruiter suggested. Double check with your recruiter.

Amazon’s interviews are focused on leadership principles and use the STAR method for answers. Recruiter will give you a sample interview question to help you prep. They want you to succeed, this is coaching. Learn from it! Also seek out anyone you can who gives interviews there to also give you a dry run interview.

I have an onsite soon and my recruiter never mentioned this. Would it look bad to ask? For SDE1 AWS

When is your onsite? I got email about it week before the interview.

February 3rd so maybe that’s why. Was it the phone call with your original recruiter?

Review the role, team, and loop structure Confirm logistics are good to go Set expectations for day of and post interview feedback Cover dress code (business casual, no suits) Use the STAR format Quantify your results Focus on LPs and coding Dos and Don'ts Etc. Saved you 30 minutes.

Recruiter will tell you what schedule for the onsite interview and what you should be expecting. Some recruiter will tell the full names of the interview panel so that you are aware of their background. Prepare very well for LP. Atleast 7-8 nice stories and pratice STAR. Also prepare for counter question like your learnings and how you would have handled situation differently. Each panel will give you chance to ask question abt position or amazon. Prepare what questions you are going to ask so it will be engaging conversation.

Looks like it is going to be a group prep call. Was not expecting that.

Student programs or apprenticeship?

It was about what to expect at interview. Prepare 2-3 examples for each LP. Structure of interview etc.
