Interview
Response for the online application was prompt. I received an online coding challenge. After almost a week of submission I received a response with an invitation for technical phone screening interview with one of Amazon's manager. There were guidelines on how to prepare for the interview keeping in mind the Amazon's "Leadership Principles".
