I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Amazon in Jun 2021
Interview
The entire process was mismanaged, unprofessional and example of going out of the way for Customer disappointment (as a candidate) to say the least
Got contacted by a recruiter for Sr. PM - Amazon Business role based out of Bangalore and told to apply for a Job ID on the Jobs portal. The recruiter refused to share details of the team, hiring manager although the JD was pretty generic and informed about scheduling a phone screen next week. When asked for interview docs / prep material, was told i could Google for it or from the website
For a good couple of weeks, didn't hear from the recruiter (based out of Mumbai)... after a few follow up emails, got a Phone screen scheduled. The phone screen went well and was assured by future team member that I was moving further in process.
However, for a good 2 weeks, the recruiter refused to respond to my emails, calls for next steps. Finally, had to ask an Amazon contact who suggested to send an email to India recruiting help desk. This finally helped solicit an email from the HR who also transferred my candidature to a different recruiter.
After repeated follow ups with the second recruiter as well, got an onsite scheduled. THROUGHT THE ENTIRE PROCESS, THE RECRUITER WAS LIKE...I AM DOING YOU A FAVOR BY SCHEDULING YOUR INTERVIEW. The onsite was spread across 2 days focusing on 11 LPs shared by the panel. It was a good experience and my performance, including the bar raiser round, was decent.
However, even after couple of weeks from the Loop, didn't receive any communication from the recruiter. The recruiter refuses to return my calls or even respond to email. Till date, i dont know the hiring manager for the role...
Wondering if Amazon has lost its appeal and core values by compromising Quantity and cheap labour over quality.

I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Amazon (Tokyo) in May 2021
Interview
Spent over 60 hours of preparation and total of 8 hours for the actual interview process spread across 4 days but Amazon Tokyo ghosted me after my final interview. I would expect at least an auto rejection email to inform me about the result because of the hours spent to their long and exhausting hiring process. It’s very unprofessional to not hear back from them after all that. You probably heard a lot about the culture, this is a sign. It might have been a good thing for me anyway not joining them.
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (San Paolo del Brasile, ) in Jun 2020
Interview
Entrevista com base em tópicos que enviam em avançado. Várias pessoas podem te entrevistar como parte do processo. No meu caso foram 4 pessoas, além da recrutadora. No geral seguem os topicos, mas podem surgir temas novos, então é preciso estudar e estar preparado.
