Hey Amazon🐠...

When it comes to Amazon interviews, what was your ā€œVictor Chengā€ type of prep resource? Especially with LP stories. Any recommendations are welcome!

My questions were very direct on these:
- If you had to get rid of one LP which would it be and why
- What does XYZ LP mean to you — just reiterate the formal definition. Asked on 3 of them
- If Bezos asked you to add one LP what would it be and why

Not sure if it’s normal to be that direct with them but my interviewer was pretty odd

Thanks SC1!
A follow up questions if I may: did you pass the LP interview and if so how did you prep before hand?

It is much less intense of an interview process than consulting - although the final round can be exhausting (5+ hours of talking to people). Just prepare really good stories for each LP (all 14) and follow a formula/method for communicating them - like STAR or PAR (problem, action taken, result).

You mean 14 stories? Heard it was one story per interview but maybe I am wrong.
And those 14 are to be exclusive of what were used in 2 initial phone interviews?

What's LP?

Do you already have the list of consolidated LP questions?

SC1, can you please send it to me too. Have an interview first week of Jan! Thanks in advance.

BTW I’ve found this website that helps in prep but not sure about it. Has anyone used it?

So I have been made an offer by a company I like but it’s pretty similar to my current package (I also like where I am).

I’m close to send them to get stuffed. I’m also awaiting a promo and interview feedback from Google. Any advice?
