Hiring/interview process was smooth and efficient. I received an email from HR about three weeks after submitting my employment application. After a single phone interview, I was asked to visit the Seattle office for an in-person interview with the team. Interviews consisted of 1-2 people in back-to-back 1 hour sessions. I entered the interview with slight trepidation due some of the articles I read online about the oppressive culture at Amazon. I quickly discovered that much of the fanfare was likely isolated to distinct teams or areas of the company. The team that interviewed me was fantastic - incredibly diverse, motivated, and talented. Ultimately, I did not receive an offer, but was still impressed by the culture and workplace environment that I witnessed in my short time there.
