I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Amazon (Poona) in Sep 2018
Interview
properly managed, good to go , clear process, many levels included , proper communication . some times take longer time . different interview process included. result is also declared same day . nice but timely process. all aspects are included in it .
The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (New York, NY)
Interview
Made it through the initial phone screen with the recruiter. Next step in the was a phone interview with the hiring manager. That's when things took a turn for the worse. I would describe the interview as intense. I took time to prepare for the interview however at times I felt like I was being interrogated. The hiring manager was throwing curve balls, she didn't try to get to get to know me at all. Many questions were behavioral following the STAR format. I was able to answer those however each time I answered the manager was just silent . I had to ask her " Does this make sense? Just so I could confirm she was listening. This interview experience made me pause and really think about whether I want to continue to pursue a job at Amazon.

Which Amazon Leadership Principles are at conflict with each other?
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon
Interview
Went though a phone screen with the recruiter, then a 1 hour phone interview with the hiring manager. After that was the onsite interview in Seattle. The entire process seemed very one sided.
The behavioral questions are designed to be a predictor for future performance. Well I have over 20 years of experience and my resume and references speak for themselves. This process seems geared for younger applicants who don't have an extensive working history.
I'm happy that I did not get the offer, I have friends over there and non of them seem thrilled working there. Add to that the high burnout rate and turnover. In addition, I did not get a feel for the real working environment, culture, management or anything related to that. NO THANKS.
