I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Amazon (Hyderābād) in Apr 2021
Interview
This interview was for the post of program manager NOC ( Network operation center), Hyderabad location.
I got the first call from the recruiter that you will have first round of phone interview and the details will be shared via email. I waited for the email for 2-3 days but there wasn't any response from Amazon. Then I had to take multiple followups on call and email. I got response that we have setup a new automated process to send out interview email and auto scheduler kind of system. Nothing like that happend for another 2-3 days, and ultimately after taking followup from amazon again, the recruiter send me email manually for the interview and guess what.. the time was in PST timezone (for India) then I had to again ask the recruiter to send the email correctly. My phone interview was finally scheduled at 11am on friday. It was thursday when I received the email. On friday when I joined the interview call, the interviewer said I have some emergency so I can't take your interview and scheduled the interview for Saturday 10:00 am. I joined the call on satuday 10:00 am and the interiew didn't join. I waited for 10 minutes. Then I had to put the interviewer email that I have joined the call and waiting. Interviewer replied on email that I have some emergency work to do.. lets plan the interview at 2:00 pm same day. I said ok. What option do I have. Finally interview happened at 2:00 pm. All this experience with amazon felt like am working with government organization who I have to ring the bell again and again. A horrible way of working. My phone interview went very well and I was confident that I will crack the screening round but couldn't make it through. I wanted to share one more incident since with amazon. I got a call from amazon even before this interview for another position. They sent me an email where they asked me provide interview schedule on calender. I marked all suitable days and timings. After waiting for two days.. the recruiter called me and said that sorry we won't be taking you interview we have something this and that (made dumb excuse). I feel that amazon is looking for female candidates for these positions to be filled and that's fine, however it should change few lines in its policy to ' Amazon is no more equal opportunity employer and discrimination is done based upon gender'.
Did a test task and was called by HR almost immediately for the next round. But salary range (full packet with stock and benefits) and return to office policy did nit much my expectations
very standard. the interviewers had a set of questions to ask about the LPs so we can anticipate beforehand. But I think I got ghosted in the end. One of the interviewers told me about the 2 & 5 rule but its been more than 2 weeks since my last interview and still no response from anyone so idk what happened.
Lengthy, messy schedule, interviews canceled last minute, interviewer late. Rude, disrespectful and dismissive approach toward candidate. Majority of people were from a different team so had no clue about the specifics of the position when asked in the final Q&A. If they treat you like this before joining, can’t imagine after. Application withdrawn.
