I wasn’t going to write a review of my Amazon experience since I didn't think it was worth my time. That is until I got the rude “We’re not going to make an offer.” call from the HR rep today. It may be Amazon but be aware that its hiring process is dysfunctional and slow. From the time I initially spoke to the hiring manager on the phone to the time I was interviewed, over three months had passed and I had been handed off to eight different HR reps. Why so long or why so many who knows? While I hit it off with the hiring manager who been at Amazon less than a year, his peers who interviewed me were lifers (read eight+ years) and boy did they have egos. Just rude and condescending. If that is what other long term employees are like, count me out. While I agree with many of Amazon’s leadership principles, it’s too bad the interviewers don’t coordinate on who is asking what. I was literally asked the same question by four interviewers. I asked the third and fourth individuals why they were asking the same questions. They said they weren’t. No you were. Supposedly, they take notes and are not working or answering emails during the interview. However, I find that very hard to believe. The bar raiser asked me to define the same metric three times. Really? How differently can I explain it is the time interval between two events and this is why it is important? I also asked her a clarifying question and waited. Talk about deafening silence. She didn’t answer me. Just hunting and pecking on her laptop. I had to ask again before she even acknowledged me. Asked one interviewer what his day was like and when he told me I was shocked. At the other two Fortune 100 companies I have worked at his job would have been a contractor's role not an FTE. He was a glorified paper pusher. When I asked about benefits and charitable matching since you can't find that on the career site. I almost wanted to burst out laughing. The Amazon.com Employee Discount the company promotes on its career website is 10% off for a max of $100 a year. As far as charitable matching, the interviewer had no clue. He offered up the fact that Amazon lets the public park in its garages after hours for free. That is not charity. I know this can’t represent everyone’s experience but it was mine. It was an experience which made me decided not to accept the offer if they had made it.
