I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Amazon in May 2021
Interview
Online assessments, followed by a phone interview.
The recruiters for Amazon are absolutely terrible. Expect poor responses, lengthy wait times in between emails, and responses that never answer questions.
To make it more unorganized, they add more recruiters along the process who also cannot answer basic questions about the position or company. Simply put, the poor standards set by their recruiters was an immediate turn-off by me.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Amazon in May 2020
Interview
I had an initial phone screen and a virtual final interview with seven different people. They were all nice and friendly. Interviews were mostly behavioral and focused on the company's leadership principles.
Pretty intense but overall positive experience. Multiple rounds with a final set of panel interviews focused on behavioural based questions linked to the Amazon leadership principles. Overall process was well managed.
