I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 days. I interviewed at Amazon in Jul 2021
Interview
The interview process was fine. The interviewer asked to go into an unnecessary amount of detail In my opinion which I didn’t anticipate (for example, explaining analytical calculations and concepts from previous projects) which probably would’ve changed my preparation method had I know. All in all though, no harm no foul.
The reason I’m writing this review is because of a “policy” they have regarding interviews where they are unable to give feedback to candidates. This is atrocious and such a self serving policy I will never recommend people interview for them in the future. This is the only reason for my bad review and it’s fully warranted.
