Hello! Not all teams perform assessments prior to the phone screen; some do, some don't. Our phone-screen process primarily establishes your technical competency. Each team has different criteria, so I can't give you a one-size-fits-all answer (example: my team verifies you have technical depth in Microsoft technologies). (Besides, even if I did know and I told you, that'd be cheating! 😉) I will tell you that we have senior-level resources performing these phone-screens, and they'll dig as deep as you're able to go to identify where you shine. The "in-person" (depends on the team and location as to how "virtual" it is) interviews will primarily focus on cultural fit; it's critical to us that you are able to demonstrate the Leadership Principles (be prepared to talk about all 16!). You can learn more about the LPs here: https://www.amazon.jobs/en/principles You may have noticed that I haven't said much about AWS-specific knowledge! While that's always a plus, we are first and foremost looking for smart people with great technical skills who are a cultural fit. The rest can be taught. I hope this helps, and good luck!
