Entrevista
Interviewed for a Sr Data Engineer position in Toronto with Amazon Advertising Canada Inc. Had multiple interviews. Initial tech screen followed by intensive 2 day final round consisting of 6 interviews.
One of the worst experiences I have ever had. Made all the worse by needing to take 2 days off work to do the interview.
I required disability accommodations, the process is supposed to be a dialogue. They were unresponsive, then finally responded with poorly thought out accommodations the day before the interview and rebuffed my reply asking to discuss them.
I had a python interview that really tested data analysis type questions in Pandas. This is not my background and not a skill that was on the job description. I haven't used pandas since university. I specifically asked before hand if I needed to brush up on Pandas and was told no.
In my system design interview, my interviewer continually interrupted my explanations. While I expect to have a dialogue, he would not let me get more then a few words in. I would estimate I spoke for about 10 of the 60 minute interviewer. Pretty much answered the questions himself.

Protected by NDA. But the recruiter sent a prep guide that tells you pretty much the type of things to prepare for. Have an example for each of their principals.

The recruiter set up the first round phone screening, and it took us three weeks to finally find a time. Though the interviewer didn't show up during the scheduled time, and the recruiter kept ghosting me without any updates. It looks like the position has been filled, but they gave no respect on the candidates who are still in the interview process. It's the worst interview experience I've ever had.
