Stressful, tedious, and very "corporate". Severe lack of communication and too many recruiters/recruiting coordinators for one role. They do not tell you if you are being placed on a "bench" or if other candidates are further along in the process than you are for the same role. Involved a hiring screen, call with a manager, then a writing sample (2-3 pages) followed by a 5 hour same-day video conference with 5-7 various Amazon employees (some not in the same department as the role you are interviewing for). They all asked the same, difficult behavioral questions. Very impersonal.

Interview
The people are nice, but the process is a bit too long and intense. On top of that, they have a "no feedback" policy so if you don't get the job, you come away with nothing for your time an effort.
