I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (San Diego, CA) in Oct 2022
Interview
The interview process is overly complicated and requires too many steps. First you are invited to take a skills test. Next you interview with one person from the team. If you pass those two parts , you then interview with 5-6 people including a “bar setter”. It takes up way too much time.

Question 1
You are given different scenarios to analyze and offer solutions.
Interview process is lengthy. Starts with a phone interview. Recruiter can be very helpful in the process. The last leg of the interview is a four hour loop. Each hour with different interviewees. They will have a amazon leadership principle and they will ask behavioral questions in relation to that. Don’t repeat stories

Terrible, they said I would be swapped between managers for the first 8 months. No thank you. Total disrespect for my time and the team members involved. Bullet dodged thankfully.
