I applied through an employee referral. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Bellevue, WA) in Mar 2021
Interview
I was referred by a member on the team. The interview process was fairly smooth and I received the schedule for subsequent rounds fairly quickly after submitting my availability, beginning with the first round which was scheduled after I answered the questionnaire sent by the Sourcer.
The first and second rounds were phone screens on Amazon Chime.
The Loop interview consisted of 5 people, including the Hiring Manager and the Bar Raiser. The interviews were pretty straightforward and were conducted without hiccups on Amazon Chime due to COVID.
Once the interview was done, I emailed the recruiter 3 times after 4 business days. No response. I was ghosted by the recruiter who did not bother to answer any of my questions during the preparation for the loop interview and did not reply about the status of my candidacy after the interview.
A week after my interview, I checked the Amazon Job portal where it was mentioned that my profile is no longer under consideration for the role. Pretty pathetic way of telling the candidate after they have spent an entire day for the interview process and preparing for a long time before the actual interview.
For a company following Customer Obsession as their primary Leadership Principle, this was a very poor representation and experience as a customer.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
The questions were based on the Leadership Principles and the technical questions were based on the resume, past and current experiences. Stick to the STAR method, have a thorough understanding about the contents of your resume, both technical and non-technical.
Interview Genie is an amazing tool to help prepare for the interview.
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
