I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Amazon (Bengaluru) in May 2022
Interview
The only best part of the company is its interview process. Each round is not an elimination round and one has to go through all the rounds a debrief then happens.
This eliminates one person’s judgment.
I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Amazon (Istanbul) in Mar 2024
Interview
My Amazon application process, which took about two months, unfortunately, wasn't a positive experience. The initial language barrier with the recruiter and lack of clarity about the role from interviewers, including a seemingly disinterested and cold regional manager, made it frustrating. While most interviews were okay, the repetitive nature and focus on a specific answer format (STAR) felt robotic and didn't assess my actual skills or past experiences. This interview process can be effective, but unfortunately, my experience felt overly rigid and formulaic. After six interviews, an assignment, and numerous calls, a really brief phone call informed me they wouldn't proceed without any explanation or response to follow-up emails. Basically, I was ghosted by Amazon. Given this experience, I wouldn't recommend any product person to apply Amazon Turkey.

Interview
Brief screening interview with recruiter, hour long interview with hiring manager, in depth interviews with hiring committee, and then a debrief with the recruiter. It was pretty standard and straightforward.
