I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Amazon (London, England) in Oct 2020
Interview
I had an interview with Amazon UK for a product management role. After passing the first round, the recruiter inquired about my availability for the loop round (interview with 4-5 members within a day or two). After waiting for three weeks, they told me that before the loop round, they wanted me to talk with another interviewer. I resubmitted my availability and passed the second round as well.
So, after passing each of these rounds, I resubmitted my availability for the loop interview, only to find out after three weeks that the position has been removed. This whole process took 3 months, and it was a huge letdown. The recruiter expressed regret and offered to forward my resume, but this never happened. It's surprising how they take someone's time and effort for granted specially during a pandemic like this. It's amazing how they take someone's time and effort for granted, particularly in the midst of a pandemic.

Question 1
Scenario based questions on Amazon Leadership Principles
1. Tell me about a time you failed
2. Tell me about a time when you deep dived into an issue
First I passed the assessment its not an easy one, next step is phone screen 1 hour interview, my recruiter shared helpful information; connect 12 LP's to your work examples using a STAR method, 2-3 examples per LP.
Process was relatively straight forward, I didn’t make it to the loop. What I can tell you is the recruiter will be overly excited about you as they are with all candidates. They’ll tell you, you can expect to hear back in two days for feedback. Truth is, if they reject you then you will not hear back within 2 days it will be more like a week. Silence means you aren’t getting the job, they’re very binary.

Good interview, reached the marathon loop of interviews. It was intense and quite focused on STAR stories obviously. Got some nice feedbacks as well to improve in case I managed to get another interview in a few months
