Interview
I applied through an employee referral. The process os well known process: 1st phone screen, then if passed you go on the "on-sites". It took 2 weeks to get to the phone screen.
The interviewer (HM) was open and clear, no issues there.
The issue are the recruiters. In my case there was not a fit after the phone interview. The recruiter did not communicate for a week. When I sent a follow-up e-mail, the only thing the recruiter did was change the status in the jobs portal. Not a reply, not a phone call. If that is any reflection of how it is to work at Amazon, I guess I dodged a bullet. Intense is all right, disrespectful is not.

Interview
I was hunted for a much lower position compared compared to my. I have clearly told the talent hunter this and despite of all I was put through a long hiring process that I have rejected. The talent hunter did not even understand my profile and to who he/she/d was talking to. It was disappointing to see such lack of competencies.

Very unique process. Recruiter outlines details in initial contact. Definitely know the Leadership Principles and think about your experience as it relates to the key LPs for the position you’re applying for. Use STAR method for response.
