I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Amazon
Interview
I had very high expectation about Amazon and was very excited interviewing with them. I had a phone interview which went very well followed by face-to-face interviews. At the on-site interview, I was interviewed by 5 different people. The first two face-to-face interviews were technical and I found the questions rather easy. It seemed to me that the next three people who interviewed me had for mission (to say it gently “F”) “mess with my mind” they insisted in knowing about times when I screwed up projects or let my team down. In the heat of the moment I sincerely couldn’t come up with any. Then they got very personal insisting in knowing personal goals I failed to reach in the past. When I could not come up with any they told me that everybody has some failure in life and kept insisting until I had to tell them something. I found the experience shocking, unprofessional, demeaning, and despicable, but I maintained my cool and kept my smile through this. I promise myself, next time an employer dares to put me through this I will just walk away.
It was a 4 round loop. The first two rounds focused on networking and troubleshooting, plus questions about your domain. The last two rounds are just answering questions using leadership principles in STAR format.
The interview was smooth. Recruiter reached out with an invitation to an online assessment, then a phone interview 1 hour and interview loop scheduled after that. It had 4 rounds
