I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Amazon in Feb 2022
Interview
This was a phone screen with the hiring manager. It was organized in a very impersonal way via their recruiting bot.
The hiring manager was pleasant and informative. It was clear that she was looking for some specific skill/experience or background to add to her team. Unfortunately, I did not have it.
