Entrevista
I found the hiring process to be very efficient. I had applied online on their job portal. I was contacted with in couple days by one of the recruiting team members to setup phone interview. The result of phone interview was out in couple days, and it was arranged for me to visit on site for in person interviews. In person interviews lasted for many hours, where I met many team members. The conversations were very engaging, and in depth exploration of my background experience and skill set. I was given the opportunity to ask questions. Lead recruiter contacted me with the results with in 3 days. Offer was made and I accepted it.
Overall the hiring process was a very positive experience, and it gave me confidence to choose Amazon Web Services, over one another offer that I had received about the same time.

The interview process is straightforward but intense.
First interview was with another Software Dev Manager in the same team. After that the famous loop interview where I had to take 5 interviews in a row over two days ( using paid holidays at work ). Recruiter gave a lot of information about possible questions and helped with materials. However, I had to use same stories few times as the different interviewers asked same questions few times.
Everything is okay, I had a good time during the interviews and it was a good exercise. However, I simply do not understand why they have to call to reject? I am not a customer to be obsessed with. A straight cut rejection via email works better than taking time out of my busy schedule.
If they used this time to share some feedback, that would be useful. If they do not share any reason why I have to continue formal small talk just to get the rejection on my face?

A time you were driving toward a goal and realized more than halfway in that it may not be the best goal.
Had 1 round of System design interview. I thought the interview went ok, if not bad, it went decently well. Received a rejection response, while asking to apply 6 months later.
