The process took 2+ months. I interviewed at Amazon (London, England)
Interview
HR phone screen, hiring manager phone interview, phone interview with their boss, then a numerical reasoning test, then a written essay question, then a ‘final’ in person day of 5 interviews (one of which was on video call, that had HR listening in as well as the interviewer). Although I got on well with the hiring manager, the whole process was formulaic and even though I had signed a NDA they still would not give me any real details on the project the role would work on. I didn’t leave the interview feeling I would like to work with the team or the company, and that most of the people I met needed to be set free.
Following the in person day I was invited to another phone interview, which I was told was for the same role but I later found out from a GDPR request I had been rejected from the role I applied for and this was a ‘recycle’ to see if I would fit another role, I am not happy about that as I would not have wanted to do the call if I had known what it was really for.
I found out they didn’t hire anyone from the process so felt like they really didn’t know what they wanted.
Over all very odd experience, but very Amazon.

I applied online. I interviewed at Amazon (São Paulo, )
Interview
O processo é super fluído e rápido. Inicia-se com um phone screen para entendimento de adequação cultural e requisitos básicos da role. Após isso passa para um loop com 4 ou 5 entrevistadores onde no geral se pedem cases ligados ao principios da Amazon. Após essa fase já existe um comitê decidindo pela offer ou não.
The process took a very long time and after 4 rounds of interviwes I got only an auto rejection email. The company check only the Leadership principles, and it looks like they don't have an interest in smth else. Anyway people were nice, the case study was interesting as well.

Did a test task and was called by HR almost immediately for the next round. But salary range (full packet with stock and benefits) and return to office policy did nit much my expectations
