I applied online. The process took 7 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (London, England) in July 2020
Interview
Total of 6 interviews - including 4 hours of back to back calls for the final round. Everyone came across quite arrogant during the process which I guess can be accepted because of the giant amazon has become, however, it made for a very cold interview process. They seem to be stuck between being the cool tech start-up they once were and this behemoth of an organisation they have become.
The worst part of the process was, upon rejection they stated that they could not provide any feedback to the candidate BUT instantly asked for feedback on their process.
They had interviewed me as a candidate for over 6 hours, over the course of 7 weeks to then just say no. But to apply again in 6 months!!
Just quite baffling that this policy was put in place, I understand during the early rounds but this just smacks of not caring about their onboarding process or potential candidates...
Interview questions [3]
Question 1
Can you tell me about a time where you didn't have enough data to solve a problem
Did a test task and was called by HR almost immediately for the next round. But salary range (full packet with stock and benefits) and return to office policy did nit much my expectations
very standard. the interviewers had a set of questions to ask about the LPs so we can anticipate beforehand. But I think I got ghosted in the end. One of the interviewers told me about the 2 & 5 rule but its been more than 2 weeks since my last interview and still no response from anyone so idk what happened.
Lengthy, messy schedule, interviews canceled last minute, interviewer late. Rude, disrespectful and dismissive approach toward candidate. Majority of people were from a different team so had no clue about the specifics of the position when asked in the final Q&A. If they treat you like this before joining, can’t imagine after. Application withdrawn.
