The last interview was with hiring manager who was supposed to join web meeting call from Delhi for a position with Bangalore office. First, he DID NOT call in to bridge at all during the entire scheduled window of interview time. Secondly, After the time is over, about 30 mins late he calls from his cellphone to my cellphone. Thirdly without any courtesy, he starts to ask technical and out of public cloud questions domain. Fourthly, in spite of answering all questions correctly, he starts to argue on salary part, wtf. Later after couple of days, finally the recruiter informs we are not moving forward. It amazes me how this whole process of hiring at Amazon India, takes candidate for a ride.

Nothing really all that hard. I signed an NDA (Non-disclosure agreement) so I can not give specifics. I was well prepared and I also contacted the team member who I had a phone interview with, and asked if they could point me to some good resources to help prep for the interview and they gave me some very good ones which helped a lot.
