I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Toronto, ON) in Jan 2025
Interview
Terrible experience, everything is superficial. Interviewers are basically just reading from a script and expect you to read from a script as well using the STAR method. One of the interviewers were super mean as well. The loop interview is 4 hours of the same thing over and over again, they don't actually care about you, they just want you to hit their checkboxes for you to get the job.
