I applied online. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at Amazon (Chennai) in Sep 2019
Interview
Extremely neagative experience as interviewer poses you with scenarios which do/may not exist in your work experience. He was so much interested in what I was unable to do, and I had to literally create a false scenario where I failed. So rather than focusing on everything that I achieved and how I done that, it was more of what you didnt do. Interviewer was also blathering about how he was at amazon for 8 years, basically he was self involved. Waste of time. Stay away from this company and enjoy your time, dont waste on this stupid process.
I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Feb 2017
Interview
phone screen by hiring manager, and then technical phone screen, and then onsite interview with 6 persons. asking DS/ML questions, SQL questions, case study, statistics questions. the process was clear but waiting to hear back took like 4 weeks after onsite.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Amazon (Palo Alto, CA) in Aug 2019
Interview
The interview was for data scientist role at ML solution team where the process was very disorganized. Specially the lunch break was the one of the terrible parts. Some one was supposed to accompany me for the lunch but he disappeared after a wile, and I found 3 rocks in my food. I have never had such terrible food in my life. A week after the onsite interview I reached out to my recruiters but none of them replied back. They never got back to me. I found it very disrespectful and I regret wasting my time interviewing with Amazon. I got a better and I will never consider Amazon bc I learned that they have a terrible culture and employees are treated like crap.
