I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Amazon
Interview
The interview process was a standard faang process. I also had to do a writing assignment. The recruiter did a good job of setting expectations. The interview followed the leadership principles well.
I applied online. I interviewed at Amazon (Johannesburg) in Sept 2022
Interview
The interview process was very long and you need to prepare well for it to make sure you are aligned with all the leadership principles. Amazon takes it very seriously and they send you documentation on how to prepare for the interview
The recruiter reached out to schedule 5 rounds of interview with heavy stress on Amazon transparent principles on leadership and others. Surprisingly barring one, nobody turned their videos on during the interview in a way disrespectful to the participant. The interviewers looked very naive and never felt Amazon was a different anywhere. Sure to laxity shown and non transparent process, i lost interest midway and discontinued it. Average experience for a company brand like Amazon.
