Chaotic. Decent coordination leading up to the final onsite, but the final onsite was pure chaos.
Supposed to ~5 rounds, then they got shuffled around, then ended up only being 3-4 half baked rounds.
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Amazon (Tokio) in Dec 2020
Interview
1st interview: 45min behavioral interview with the Hiring Manager (Sr. Fin Analyst)
2nd interview: 45min Excel skills test with Fin. Analyst: Deviation analysis that required use of Sum Ifs -- 30min allotted for the test, 15min to do a walk through
Loop interview scheduled:
3rd interview: 45min behavioral with Bar Raiser + Bar Raiser in training (Interview was led by the bar raiser)
4th interview; 45min behavioral with a Sr. Program Manager of DSP
5th interview: 45min behavioral with a Sr. Fin Manager
Unfortunately the only feedback I got for the rejection was that I didn't do well on the 15min walk through of the Excel skills test! Kind of puzzled since I was told I passed that and made it to loop.
Just a good lesson that they may check interviews before the Loop when making a final decision
