First round interview with AWS hiring manager coming up. Can anyone share their experience? Is it tell me about your experience stuff? Or do they dig into leadership principles right away? It’s a Principal PS role

LPs exclusively. Always intertwine your answers connecting back to them. I made it to the round right before the 6 panel interview for a Change Management role within AWS

You need to come up with stories that link to the leadership principles you’re being evaluated against (If you don’t know please as the recruiter) They will probe and ask follow up questions so be prepared for that. Use the STAR method while answering. You should be crisp on your “why Amazon” answer. Finally do some research on some of their cloud products. At the very least, you should be able to explain what Cloud is

helpful

If it’s with HM, it’ll be less LP heavy and more competency-based, determining your fit. That being said, study up on your “why amazon” answer, as well as be able to speak about how you fit in well with the role. Always a chance to get 1-2 LPs in the call. If you move forward, definitely spend more time on LPs

Hello People,

I received a verbal offer letter from
Oracle. I said yes and things moved on. BGV was initiated as well.

He said I will be contacted once freeze is over. Do you think I still have any chances of getting in once the freeze is lifted and how long the freezes are in Oracle ? Oracle

Would you like to be working here next year? Does your work energize you?” etc. The truth is that I like the company and the work but I hope to move to another division next year.
