I applied through a recruiter. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at Amazon (Madrid) in Feb 2020
Interview
Reached by the recruiter. Then she sent me the Amazon Online Assessment.

Probably I should skip the next time. That company has sounded like a good company to me. But... probably I'm not a good fit for them.
