I applied online. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Pune) in Aug 2020
Interview
6 round of interview on leadership principles. One has to provide example of each principle backed by data. Interviewer can further grill on the topics. Use STAR to prepare the example as it will also help in articulation during interview
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 8 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon
Interview
Recruiter calls x 3, 1 phone interview, 1 onsite interview day (virtual) with multiple Amazonians - it was a pretty structured process and nothing out of the ordinary. Amazon leadership principles were important in the on-site and also a little bit in the previous ones... prepare well and you should be fine
Got an email that the HR wanted to speak to me about the job asking for my convenient time. I emailed them my details.
After 2 days had passed with no response confirming the date and time, I tried calling on the mobile no. shared by the HR person. The call went to the voice mail.
Emailed again confirming my availability. No response.
No communication from the HR person. The least they could have done is emailed that they could not speak to me now. Very unprofessional.
With all their talk about automation, bot, AI, etc. Amazon cannot be bothered to send auto e-mails in case they cannot take the interview further. They just keep the candidates hanging.
