Solicité el puesto a través de la recomendación de un empleado. El proceso duró 3 semanas. Acudí a una entrevista en Amazon en may 2023
Entrevista
1 X HR screen 2 X hour with team members 5 X hour with various team members, bar raiser. Various other mini-calls. The Amazon interview process is something I'm torn on, (but I think 9 hours of anyone's time is excessive.) On one hand, you will know for sure if someone can follow directions and if they prepare. But on the other hand, this cumbersome and time consuming process is meant to eliminate bias which is completely impossible. The mere act of interpreting an answer and if it met the qualifications will still be biased. There are plenty of academic studies out there that show the same exact input coming from a man/woman, white/black, old/young, person is interpreted differently. Everything plays into perception. The quality of the interviewers has a huge part in how you do as a candidate. My bar raiser came on 15 minutes late and said that it was "partially" their fault when we ran out of time. Another interviewer name dropped for literally 10 minutes straight when I asked him a question about his previous experience to be polite. I couldn't believe how long he went on - it was ridiculous. I prepared thoroughly- could not have done more, and in the end didn't get an offer. OK fine I wasn't your pick. And I understand why they don't provide feedback- so they don't get sued. But that is a lot of time and energy to not know why you didn't get the offer and have no feedback to improve upon. Eventually some Gen Z will find a way to make them pay for your time. lol

Tell me about a time that you didn't get your way.
7 to 8 rounds in total including interview loop including a bar raise for L5+ levels and above. Took about 2 weeks to conclude and hear back from the recruiter.
great overall, no issues, clear questions. HR was very kind and respectful. Prepare yourself well for the cliche questions in order to ensure everything goes smoothly. Good luck . . .
The interview process was surprisingly easy to navigate, from the initial contact to the final interview, everything was well-organized and efficient. The communication was clear and timely, making the whole experience quick and stress-free. I appreciated how straightforward the process was, allowing me to focus on demonstrating my skills and experience.
