Leaders are right a lot. They have strong judgment and good instincts. They seek diverse perspectives and work to disconfirm their beliefs.

We make decisions every day - smaller or bigger. One very good LP at Amazon that I naturally tend to follow is "Are Right A Lot". Amazon expects engineers to avoid unnecessary mistakes. Everyone is supposed either to be experienced enough to make decisions using past experience or to use other techniques like deriving decisions from data and design documents (SDE-I, II engineers are terrible writers, though). Ofc, it is also fine to simply discuss something over slack for minor points. This is a significantly useful skill that many of us train each day. If you prepare for an interview, ensure you have a story that exemplifies you approach dealing with ambiguity the right way.

Хороший текст про уровни в Google, похожее в Амазон.
Примерный маппинг уровней в Гугл с уровнями в Амазон
- L3 at Google is ~L4 at Amazon
- L4 at Google is ~L5 at Amazon
- L5 at Google is ~L6 at Amazon
- L6 at Google is ~L6 at Amazon - да, все верно, в Амазон L6 - это много.

Возьмите на заметку те, кто проходят поведенческие собеседования, чтобы подобрать соответсвующую историю.

I'm a staff engineer at Google. My take on it is a little different than the others here.

The normal levels are 3/4/5, with 5 being Senior Engineer. It is normal for you to progress up level 5, Senior. What that level means is this: Google has something that needs to be done, and knows that you can take care of it on your own with no problems. In other words, Google knows what the problems is, knows what the answer is, and trusts you to get it done and take care of the details.

The next level is 6, Staff Engineer. What this means is: Google knows what the problem is, but does not know what the answer is, but trusts that you will figure out how to solve the problem. Levels above 6 are more concerned with identifying problems/goals, and figuring out which ones to tackle (in addition to the things in all the other levels).

So, in my opinion, the best way to become a staff engineer is to have a track record of solving problems that other people don't immediately know the answer to. If there are issues out there, where people are scratching their heads and thinking, "I'm not really sure how we should go about that.", and you are consistently solving those problems, then that is where you want to be for getting to level 6, Staff. People will be saying, "I'm glad that person X did it, because I didn't know how to solve the problem."

Additionally, at level 6, you should have a broad view of how things work at Google and what teams are working on what projects in your department.

First you have to get to level 5, Senior. That's where people are looking at an issue and thinking, "I generally know how to tackle that, but it is complex and involves a lot of work and a lot of experience." Tackling those problems is how you get to level 5. People will be saying, "I'm glad X did it, because it looked complex, like it would take a lot of hard work."

To get to level 4, people should be thinking about you: "I'm glad X is working on this for me, because they didn't need much help or guidance and figured out a lot of it on their own."

To get to level 3, people should be thinking about you: "I'm glad X is here, because they understand how computers really work, they learn fast, they are passionate about technology, they can take charge, they communicate well, they are friendly and fun to be around, and they can see the underlying abstract patterns that are obscured by many surface details."
