I was deeply unimpressed by Amazon's recruitment process. I sent a couple of resumes multiple times. If feels like when you submit an application on their job board, they just save your email address in their database. They don't bother looking at your resume or anything else you put down. The impression I got was that when they are ready to hire they just send a mass email to every email they stored. I got some emails asking me for my resume for positions that I neither applied for nor am qualified for. I don't get why I need to give them my resume so many times, when I have already sent it to them multiple times. They are a tech company. They should have a better process. Part of the problem was that on some of their applications the desired experience was somewhat ambiguous, but they should have a system in place to navigate applicants to better fitting roles (Especially with the number of positions that are open). The overall impression I got was that their hiring department (or Company Culture) is incompetent, they do the shotgun approach when it comes to hiring, and the way the handle job applications is pretty awful. It feels like I have been responding to a lot of spam.
The interview was basically a screening round, It was just a quick interview to get to know if I was worth the company's time. The dsa round was pretty easy but once they got into system design it was harder.
