Sollicitatiegesprek
The interview was arranged through my university and occurred on campus.
I met with one an engineer. He was pleasant, but not extremely friendly.
The interview started by asking me a bit about my classes and previous work experience. We then talked about what exactly I was interested in doing at Amazon, things I liked about Amazon products, etc. I was asked what features I would want to approve on their website.
There were three technical questions. The first question asked how you was something like, how would you find the most common word in a string. It wasn't really that difficult, and after talking it through with the interviewer, I wrote code for it. He seemed happy with my answer.
Second, he asked me a question related to the first one but with about databases. I don't really have any database experience so I really struggled with this.
Last, he asked what happens when a person goes on the Amazon website, as in what happens between the person typing "www.amazon.com" and the page loading up. I answered pretty well, but needed a little help. He was nice and gave me a few hints which led me to the right answer.
Overall I felt positive about the interview except for the database question. The next day I received an email, however, saying that I hadn't been chosen for the next round. Oh well.

What is customer obsession and how do you apply it
Could not use AI during the first interview. The recruiter was helpful in the screener but the coding exam was tough including the take home test. Did a few Leetcode examples but apparently that wasn't enough.
