I interviewed 3 times with Amazon before I got an offer from them. And then when I was there, I kicked ass. There's little correlation between the interviews and how good you actually are. Also, while I was at Amazon, I did probably over a hundred interviews (in person and phone screens). Interviewing in hard and there are a lot of very bad interviewers there. They try to keep a similar bar across the company, but I found it to be very inconsistent from team to team. AWS tends to be one of the harder teams to interview for.



Also, feel free to try again if you feel like you would like working there.
