Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Discuss a situation where you have disagreed with your boss. How did you address it?
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Amazon in Oct 2020
Interview
On Linkedin, a recruiter approached me about this role. I was sent the interview preparation materials which was everything I learned from my bachelors in Computer Science to more than 10 years experience in the IT field. The interview was clueless about my resume or background. He didn't like walking him through the solution as per AWS advice to never start a solution/coding without explaining your thoughts. He wasn't even part of the team that I am interviewing for. He couldn't answer a question about the team that I am interviewing for. So disappointing.
