Bezos interview questions

The hiring process was unnecessarily long and frankly ridiculous, multiple screening stages, pre-interviews, and video interviews just to get to an actual conversation. By the time I reached the “real” interview, I had already invested a significant amount of time. The interview itself went fine, and I was pushed forward to a case study round. That’s where things became unacceptable. The case study was massively time-consuming, requiring detailed Excel analysis using their own company data, along with strategic recommendations. This wasn’t a quick exercise, it was hours of unpaid work. After putting in serious effort and delivering a high-quality submission, I received nothing more than a generic rejection email. No explanation, no acknowledgment of the work, nothing. When I followed up asking for feedback, I was completely ignored. After all the hours I put into this process, at the very least you would expect a one-liner telling me a specific reason I was not chosen After reading similar experiences from others, a clear pattern emerges: candidates are being asked to do substantial, company specific work, only to be rejected and ghosted. It raises serious concerns about whether these roles even exist, or if this is just a way to extract free labour and insights from applicants. Overall, the process felt exploitative, disrespectful, and deeply unprofessional.
