Terry Gargett

So far this has been great, really tackled a multitude of questions I had regarding preliminary questions that one might get asked and how I can prepare for them.

LIN DAI

Warm and concise delivery. Focuses my efforts on high-value interview prep activities. Love the Formula documents.

Kristine Shuey

Emanuela Cervantez

some of my interview questions i got were exactly the same. 

David Alan

the community is a hidden gem. There's like 300 interview questions in there to practice with. recommend!

Rumena Godjova

I'll be honest the biggest things I've learned so far were to download Chime ahead of time - good idea and some of the public YT videos about how not to screw up the interview. I also purchased a better headset/microphone combo. But other than that nothing new.

Marston Gould

Lots of practical content, including examples of answers. I loved the examples.

Leslie Kark

Suruchi Kothari

Glad I did it, this course was very helfpul for prepping for the Amazon interview. It helped me put together good stories for all the leadership principles and the hiring manager on the loop commented on how good my stories were

Roodra Patvardhan

Steve Kelly

For the price of basically 1 coaching session, I got a treasure trove of strategies to use. Would recommend! + like having access to other people's pre-recorded interview answers too and I used the community to prep for Google too because you can see all the answers in there.

Maria Mendoza

This course was much shorter than I anticipated; however, it provided some good information. Other than the writing sample exercise discussion, I was disappointed that there wasn't more Amazon-specific information about the interview process. Perhaps there's some value in the "community" to which I can become a member and ask specific questions, but as it stands now and after having completed the course, I place its value as about 25 to 30 percent lower than the cost of this course. 

Debby

just finished my onsite. this might be my first FANG offer EVER. :)))))

Dashawn Kevin

Detailed explanations of each leadership principle and lots of worksheets

Rashad Burroughs

I was skeptical buying this as an engineer. it exceeded my expectations. I am not that good at the behavioral and I am a little shy in communication and this course helped me learn how to sell myself in the interview. I got Amazon and Google offer.

Chi Ni

A lot of homework on practice questions + help with written assignment, made a big difference

Prashant Sardar

great course  w lots of homework. I got stuck a few times and the Candor team helped me work through it, even though it wasn't included in the course. 

Dave White

This is a course where you have to actually work and do the homework- thb I felt a bit annoyed at first but I just passed my video screen with flying colors and I couldn't be more grateful that I had to put in the effort. They make you work for it though lol

Ming Lee

Coming from consulting, I was extremely nervous interviewing for a tech role at Amazon - this course made it easy for me.
