I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (San Francisco, CA) in Dec 2024
Interview
I was contacted by a recruiter with suspicious email formatting for a role that I did not apply for. After I submitted the email as fraud, I received a legitimate scheduling request, but was still directed to apply directly to the role they approached me for. The whole process was not standardized and extremely confusing.

Rigorous but at least they don’t keep you waiting long to know your status. I was given a 90 minute assessment then one interview followed by a writing assessment and 5 interviews (1 hour each) also known as the notorious loop interview.
