I interviewed at Amazon (Ciudad de México) in Mar 2022
Interview
Envian videos y entrenamientos para preparar al candidato para la entrevista y en esos entrenamientos explican que Amazon no pone casos practicos en sus entrevistas pero al momento de la entrevista sí lo hacen.

Question 1
Calcula las ventas que tendriamos en un año por lanzar una linea de pañales por amazon,
I had 5 or 6 rounds and talked with HR, future colleagues, and managers. I followed the Amazon interview model. The problem for me was that the real case study (and how the eventual job would be for 80+% of the time as the interviewer told me) was only at the very last round. In my opinion, having the case study at the very end of the interviewing process could potentially cause issues for both the candidate and the company. For the candidate, they may have invested a significant amount of time and effort into the interview process, only to find out at the last minute that the position may not be a good fit for them based on the case study. For the company, they may have invested a lot of resources into the candidate, only to find out that they may not be the best fit for the position after the case study. It would make sense to place the case study earlier in the interview process, such as in the second or third round, so that both the candidate and the company can determine if the position is a good fit as early as possible. This would save time and resources for both parties and ensure that the hiring process is efficient and effective.

I applied online. The process took 4 months. I interviewed at Amazon

8 interviews, mostly from teams but some from different part of the business. After passing the interview, I was told that the position I interviewed for is no longer available. They offered me the same position in another team after a few days. Was quite ambiguous/ unexpected.
