I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA)
Interview
There was an initial phone interview, which lasted about an hour. An onsite interview followed. In my case, I flew out the evening before and was interviewed the next day by six people. The office environment was relatively casual. Standard questions, "tell me about a time when..." or "what would you do if... walk me through that process". Most were reasonably straightforward. We took a break around noon and went for lunch. My final interview went horribly - it was clear I wasn't clicking well with the team member. It ended abruptly and somewhat aggressively. The phone call the next day seemed cold, and when I politely asked for feedback, the recruiter (a new one) responded defensively. I'm a firm believer that things work out the way they should. However, I was left disappointed. Given the caliber of Amazon, my expectation for a positive candidate experience was high (yet sorely missed). I won't entertain opportunities here in the future.

Question 1
Tell me about a time when you had to influence without authority.
Did a test task and was called by HR almost immediately for the next round. But salary range (full packet with stock and benefits) and return to office policy did nit much my expectations
very standard. the interviewers had a set of questions to ask about the LPs so we can anticipate beforehand. But I think I got ghosted in the end. One of the interviewers told me about the 2 & 5 rule but its been more than 2 weeks since my last interview and still no response from anyone so idk what happened.
Lengthy, messy schedule, interviews canceled last minute, interviewer late. Rude, disrespectful and dismissive approach toward candidate. Majority of people were from a different team so had no clue about the specifics of the position when asked in the final Q&A. If they treat you like this before joining, can’t imagine after. Application withdrawn.
