I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon in Jan 2022
Interview
This was a stressful process and while the first interview went well, the second interview with the hiring manager was cold and didn’t go in to what I could do for the company and more about what I’ve done. With multiple referrals and more than the experience they are looking for, I felt I wasn’t given a good chance to show what I could do for the company to propel them forward and didn’t get any feed back as to why I am not a fit, after 2 referrals from people in the dept and more experience than required.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Bengaluru)
Interview
For manager and above, once the recruitment team identifies a candidate, they are scheduled for interviews. Apart from a phone round, folks will typically go through 4-6 rounds of additional interview. It will help if candidates are able to structure their responses in SBI format bringing out strengths that align with Amazon leadership principles.
