I applied for a role online and a few days later got emailed by an internal recruiter who had "found my resume in the system" asking me if I would consider applying for a role... the one I had already applied for which was a little odd. Initial experience was good, everything was booked and communicated with my timezone to avoid any confusion although I did have to provide 3 weeks worth of availability. My 1st interview happened within 4 days however. A load of generic details were sent about the Leadership Principles and interviewing at Amazon; this was both good and bad as there was almost too much information to review. Details were also vague and not forthcoming when I asked about whether I was expecting a HR screening, behavioral or technical interview. I had decided to focus on the 14 Leadership Principles and how I would give answers in line with those and I prepared for some technical questions based off my experience. In the end my interview was purely technical and mainly a memory test of my technical knowledge with very little context to discuss my career experience. Given I was interviewing for an industry-specific Solutions Architect role there were zero questions about said industry and a lot of questions which would have been more appropriate for a Network Architect role which is not something I would have ever invested time in applying for, Amazon or not. Things that made the experience worse included: - The interviewer turning up 10 minutes late - The interviewer's video and audio, via Amazon Chime, dropping out nearly a dozen times - The interviewer being fairly arrogant from the beginning - The interviewer trying to openly infer things from some of the questions I asked (e.g. he inferred I did not want to travel given I asked about requirements to travel in the role, which I had to correct him about - I simply wanted to understand the expectations)
