Hi everyone, I have a 3x60 minute virtual on-site interviews with Amazon tomorrow for a SDE1 position. I’m really nervous for it and was wondering if anyone had any advice on how I should approach this. Any tips would be great!

The technical stuff is kind of pass/fail. There is not a weighting as a result.

STAR answers to the LP questions will get you the job. Plenty of questions on glassdoor, YouTube, etc. Advice given it’s tomorrow is think about which LPs are most related to being a soft eng and focus on those. Each interviewer will ask you about two different LPs.

Junior Dev presents an issue they’re having. I hint to the fact that it may be framework related (this is a very simple fix). The questions they are asking seem out of context, so I ask if they have done any framework related research generally, as our entire application is built on top of this. They answered no, they have been here for months, and it’s not like this wasn’t in the job description. Am I missing something here? Trying to be helpful but stuff like this is frustrating.
