Amazon Behavioral Interviews: What's Different?

Описание: I sat down with Gilad Naor of Management Deltas (https://managementdeltas.com) to discuss what makes Amazon's approach to behavioral interviews so uniquely challenging and how to master them.

If you're preparing for an Amazon interview, you probably already know they're different. But different *how*? That's what we dug into.

Gilad is an expert on Amazon's hiring process (he's was an EM at Amazon and Meta), and he's worked with hundreds of candidates preparing for their loops. His mentoring program, Management Deltas, helps engineers ace their interviews and accelerate their careers.
