I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (San Jose) in May 2024
Interview
Very extensive with multiple interviews with many people, ranging from developers to VPs and more. You have an interview loop on the same day 6 interviews which can be stressful and very overwhelming

Interview
I applied, heard from them within a couple of days for the interview, we did the interview online, the interviewer was friendly and made me feel very relaxed. I was surprised when they said there was no commission for the role, but the budget for the role was between €60-70k. In the end I wasn’t made an offer.

Interview
Had to do a very long assessment before even being considered. I applied for some other similar roles with them and had to do the same exact assessment for each of the roles, extremely time consuming. No interaction with a recruiter at all. Next step is an interview directly with the hiring manager, with no clue about pay / benefits. The interview started with a role play, never mentioned anywhere, the preparation email only mentioned STAR questions.
