I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon in Nov 2024
Interview
The recruiter set up the first round phone screening, and it took us three weeks to finally find a time. Though the interviewer didn't show up during the scheduled time, and the recruiter kept ghosting me without any updates. It looks like the position has been filled, but they gave no respect on the candidates who are still in the interview process. It's the worst interview experience I've ever had.
