Entrevista
Contacted by an Amazon recruiting coordinator who set up an initial phone screen with the hiring manager. The initial interview was two weeks after the first contact took about an hour. It was a combination of basic background and information about the position. This was followed by two additional phone interviews over the next couple of weeks with different people in the department.
After making it through the phone interviews, I was scheduled for an all-day in-person interview. I met with 7 different people one by one, including a lunch with one person. I also met with a recruiter who told me she would be following up with me. Each of the people I talked with on the phone also interviewed me in person.
Each person was cordial, but no nonsense. They never really tried to sell me on the job or the company. All seemed very smart and, in a couple of cases, kind of overbearing about it. But overall, very professional and capable people interviewed me.
Why did I mark this down as a negative experience? Simply because they never contacted me afterwards to officially say no offer. No follow-up. Zero. I waited a couple of weeks, sent an email to the recruiter and the hiring manager and never heard back. When you go to all that effort to bring someone in (after 3 phone interviews) and then drop the ball when it comes time to closure, it's simply unprofessional and kind of sad.

Pick an Amazon product and tell me how you would double revenue on it in the next year.
It had 6 rounds- heavily focussed on leadership principles. they really do cross question almost every other example.......... You get multiple interviewers across the organisation. I thought- the questions were repetitive after one point.

No HR screen; you answer those questions over email. You do a ridiculous project simulation where you answer emails. Paradoxically it’s interesting yet cheesy at the same time. Very unique but not that difficult. Then the first real interview. Rarely with the direct hiring manager; usually someone else in the org but not this direct team. So it’s useless to research the department. In fact, it’s better to prepare your strong STAR examples. They probe deep, which is fine. They heavily expect numbers. The more you can spout out random numbers (it’s okay, no one will verify) the better. The final round is more of the same — Just more STAR interviews, 2 per session, 4 sessions total. The people in this round are even more critical and harsh than the previous rounds. All done by people who have worked here for 5+ years and have never left — or if they did they came from another FANG company. So they’re all typically arrogant and jaded and negative or on the way to getting there. Finally they all have this weird verbal communication style where they just talk on and on like they expect you to interrupt them — but it’s an interview so you have to be polite can’t interrupt them. So like what the heck.
