Entrevista
Internal recruiter contacted me and scheduled a phone interview with the team manager. We discussed the roles, career path, the team's project and how operations were handled. It was overall a very good "confirm a fit" conversation.
The technical interview, scheduled exactly one week later, was really bad. The interviewer clearly was disinterested conducting in the interview. I could hear him typing furiously on his loud keyboard the whole hour. Although I was trying to talk through my solution as I was writing it, I soon stopped, realizing was he was passively listening. I had to ask him for attention to review my solutions, and he did so poorly. Simply asking "how would you test this?" then immediately returning to distracting keyboard typing. I discovered a critical error while trying to answer his question. He neither noticed, nor was interested in my explanation of what I found wrong. After a few minutes of my dithering for his attention, he plainly stated the response he had wanted to hear. "Randomly generate test data"
This was the end of the interview process, for me. I did not hear back after the technical phone screen.
I understand and appreciate the management principle to hire only the best, but I am disappointed that 20 years of experience was summarily dismissed on the basis of a one hour phone call covering simple technical problems hidden under an elusive "aha" moment.

Entrevista
A total of four approximately one-hour interviews were conducted on the same day. Three interviews focused on Data Structures and Algorithms, while one focused on System Design. All four interviews start with an introduction, followed by behavioural questions and end with the technical question. The technical part last around 20 - 30 mins.
The DS and Algo questions ranged from easy to medium, depending on your level of preparation. All four technical questions may be tailored to the team, especially the system design question.

Interviewed 5 hours after written test. The interviewers follows exact pattern of questions which they prepared for. I would say they need to know what they want to know but not what the candidate knows. Clearly reflects Amazon's dictatorships style of working and that's why people are working like dog there. I will never ever join Amazon with this kind of people
