I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon Web Services in Jul 2022
Interview
Initial screening call with the recruiter was very positive and insightful. Interview was conducted via Amazon Chime, which crashed twice before I was able to get into the call, which was a little stressful. I was set up to speak with someone familiar with the role, I assume because the actual hiring manager was new to his position. Interviewer interrupted and talked over me multiple times in the 30 minute interview, which felt exceptionally short. Overall, I was not impressed.

I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Amazon Web Services (Atlanta, GA)
Interview
The interview process was significantly delayed due to poor coordination and internal miscommunication within the HR team. It took several weeks to schedule what was described as a phone screen but turned out to be a virtual meeting via Chime. The interviewer appeared disengaged, made minimal eye contact, and asked few standard interview questions, giving the impression that the meeting was merely a formality. Overall, the experience felt disorganized and unproductive.
5 subsequent interviews on same day which can be quite time consuming in terms of preparation and development. Important to understand Amazon leadership principles and prepare accordingly. X y z
