I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon in May 2021
Interview
Talent acquisition is great about getting in touch quickly to go over your overall fit for the role. Interview scheduling through the automated tool is easy and quick.
Multiple rounds, first one is often a cultural fit. It was a little strange to be audio-only and with one person observing but not saying anything.
Minimal focus on the leadership principles but still present.
Lots of questions about overall soft skills, easy enough to figure out coaching.
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Amazon (Los Angeles, CA) in Jan 2021
Interview
Reasonable screening. On-site was a complete mess. Interviewers were late. A senior engineering did a technical interview. He didn't like what he heard. When I asked for his feedback, I found he had failed to understand my explanation. Could be my communication, but in my opinion it was his failure to ask for elaboration where he didn't understand. Took them 6 months to reimburse me for the travel expenses. I had to pressure them hard for it, too.
