Entrevista
Totally ridiculous, cover your ass interview process. I interviewed with 7 people (one person twice). All but one over the phone. Hr person asked me exaclt two questions and was out in 5 minutes. I was desperately wanting her to ask me more questions.
All (except one) of them asked the same questions again and again. By the time I had a face to face meeting I had my script down pat.
Only the hiring manager had a clue what he wanted done. The other guys were going through the process. They have a case method, which they keep throwing real cases at you to see you think.
The bar raiser, who is supposed to test leadership qualities, specifically testing for commit (to a view) and pushback (in effect to prevent an effort to make you retract a view), had the only decent interview style. I also had the privilege of interviewing with a trainee bar raiser (he was the first of the interviewers). You can make them out by the slightly different questions they will ask.
The dotted line functional head had no clue about the position he was interviewing for. He kept asking questions which were in stark contrast of the understanding that I had with the reporting manager.
All this was ok.
What really pissed me off was they had English writing tests and a test of concentration (usually reserved for clerical jobs).
Just went to show how little maturity was there was in the recruitment process. The process was force fitted from a technical and operations interview (given the development and support centers in India, this is not surprising)
This somehow works for them and Amazon gets great people, so who am I to comment on this.
For me personally, by the time I was coming to the end of the interview, I was sick of it and wanted out.
Difficult and time consuming. Many rounds with challenging questions requiring data driven, STAR method responses. Be prepared to be challenged and make sure you know the Amazon leadership principles very well.

Made through the final interviews but got rejected. Reached out to HR managers multiple times but no response. I did learn that some HR managers try to find a right position for you when you make it to the final.

It was an extremely lengthy interview process—six rounds in total—with various team members, many of whom asked repetitive questions about my professional experience. While the feedback was delivered quite promptly, the overall process itself felt excessively long.
