Recruiter was fantastic but interview experience with hiring manager was really bad. He was clearly not interested in the process (it was as though he was forced to go through the interview) and did not seem to understand or even make an effort to understand what was said. He kept making me repeat the same point...was he even listening? There was zero enthusiasm and zero interest in getting to know and engage the candidate. Thereafter, when it was my turn to ask questions, his boredom (and rudeness) showed when he gave superficial sweeping answers that weren't even related to the questions asked. Please do respect your candidate's time as well as an interview is also a chance for the candidate to find out more about Amazon and its people.
The first step, the virtual interview process, was fairly long but easy to navigate and work through, and shortly after, I received an invite to interview in person. However, the location for which they reached out for was for the wrong state.

Question 1
Manager experience, scenarios where I had to act as a manager
Ghosted me after the interview, and they did not notify me I was no longer under consideration. I manually had to check the job portal to verify job application status after a virtual assessment and interview.
The interview process is very robust. You speak with many different people but they moved quickly. Some questions are out of the box and some are straightforward. Overall it was a good experience.
