I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Londres, Angleterre) in Nov 2019
Interview
Recruiter reached out to me on LinkedIn, scheduled a call and then scheduled first screening call with an employee at Amazon. I was then scheduled for 4 round of final interviews with different hiring managers hiring for different roles.
The over all experience was really bad. Recruiters at Amazon really do not care about candidate's time at all. For my final round I was given a particular date that I had to interview (not even asked) . I was not given which role I was inteviewing for or the interviewer panel or even the schedule and at the day of the interview the recruiter just called me and said it would be scheduled next week, Again, I didnt receive schedule, roles and interviewers till day before the interview. Follow ups do not work at all, they contact you when it is convenient for them . They will not give you a timeline on getting back with respnse and if they do they do not stick to it. I am stil waiting to hear back although I was given a deadline. This is not the first time I interviewed with Amazon, I had negative experience before and declined the role. I thought it was one off incident but looks like recruiting culture at Amazon is just horrendous.
When you talk to Hiring Managers they do get you excited for the role and opporunties that you will get at Amazon but the whole process is a big red flag.

Interview
O processo é super fluído e rápido. Inicia-se com um phone screen para entendimento de adequação cultural e requisitos básicos da role. Após isso passa para um loop com 4 ou 5 entrevistadores onde no geral se pedem cases ligados ao principios da Amazon. Após essa fase já existe um comitê decidindo pela offer ou não.
The process took a very long time and after 4 rounds of interviwes I got only an auto rejection email. The company check only the Leadership principles, and it looks like they don't have an interest in smth else. Anyway people were nice, the case study was interesting as well.
