Entrevista
I was contacted by a recruiting agency for this position. The first initial interview with recruiter went ok. I had mentioned that I want to apply for a Manager position, not an IC, but so far do not have people management experience. They said its ok. Then I had another discussion interview with one of the other managers talking about project, and "selling" amazon. They also asked a few detailed question about my current experience.
Then there was 3rd technical phone interview. I was give one design problem, and I tried my best to solve it. I had a feeling it did not go so well. Then there was nothing, no communication back. After 2 weeks I assumed they decided to pass.

The design problem in last interview was not difficult, but I think they were looking for a specific answer.
Phone screen, 5 1 hour interviews for loop
Each hour was dedicated to 2 LPs. System design was more collaborative than i anticipated which was a pleasant surprise. The phone screen mostly focused on my previous experiences

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.
