I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Amazon (Herndon, VA) in May 2017
Interview
The interview lasted over seven hours and involved discussions with five rounds of managers from different areas of the organization. The recruiters spent a lot of time trying to prepare me for the discussion which was beneficial. The discussions themselves were strange. Each manager had the same script and repeated it verbatim which got to be creepy the fifth time around.
'How are you doing? Can I offer you a glass or water or restroom break? If you need anything, just ask. We are here to make sure you are comfortable'.
The weirdest was each interviewer made little eye contact and transcribed answers like a court stenographer. Interviewing folks without making eye contact was really bizarre. Gave the impression that everyone who works there is high on the autism spectrum. My lips were raw and chapped from talking for a week after this interview. Overall, a very bizarre experience. The managers bragged about how highly competitive, confrontational and abrasive they are with each other.Pretty sure they were im-ing with each other during the discussions too so I guess you can add impolite to the list. Did I mention arrogant?
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 Application withdrawn.
