Here are the most commonly searched roles for interview reports -
There is one phone interview for an hour. If you clear this interview, you will be invited for an onsite interview. Phone interview was very technical. Lot of technical questions and have to write some code.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Ciudad de México) in Jul 2019
Interview
Recruiter contacted me. There was one technical phone interview (2hrs~) and four on-site interviews and a final presentation (4hrs~)
• I interviewed for this same position last year. Phone interview format, questions and answers were almost exactly the same, yet this time I passed to the next round, making me think external factors are more important than my answers
• Phone interview schedule happened at a time that was not the one initially agreed
• During on-site interview, one of my interviewers was literally falling asleep. I consider this action rude and unprofessional. I repeat, ONE OF MY INTERVIEWERS WAS FALLING ASLEEP.
• This same interviewer had no knowledge of basic background information that was on my resume
• I sent the recruiter my updated resume via email. However, interviewers of the on-site had an old version, one that I uploaded a year ago in the Amazon Careers platform. I consider this action put me in disadvantage. Previous resume had no mention of my current role and company, for example.
• I was given two on-site interview schedule options, yet I was forced into one
• It also caught my attention that the interviewer that gave the last follow-up was not the one monitoring my process, but rather the one that did a previous year
My overall experience was very negative.

Interview
I have an overwhelmingly negative impression of this organization based on my interview process. Phone call with Recruiting Coordinator, Phone screen with a team member, phone call with a recruiter, scheduled on-site that did not happen. The onsite was scheduled, flight confirmed, schedule for the day confirmed. I arrive at the airport for my flight to find out it was cancelled. I have yet to receive any information or communication AT ALL about what happened. It is extremely unprofessional of them and really undercuts the emphasis on the leadership principles. From what I see, that is a complete lip service and does not actually trickle through the corporation.
I wasted my time preparing a presentation. I wasted my money getting to the airport. I have no idea what happened or where this stands because there is no communication from the recruiting team.
