I applied online. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Jan 2025
Interview
Terrible. Recruiter got my name wrong and then got mad at me when another internal recruiter apparently scheduled my interview without clearing something internally first. They asked me to do a homework assignment that took a couple of hours that nobody ever read (I asked), and then asked to prep for questions that they never asked, which caused me to be less prepared for the questions they actually did ask. I would have been better off not listening to any of their instructions on how to prepare. I feel that caused me to be less authentic since I was so worried about whether my answers would fit their leadership principles.

Question 1
Tell me about a time that you couldn't meet a deadline.
Great and friendly people in interview process. It can be draining as they do a 3-4hr straight chunk but be careful not to repeat stories across interviews they will ding you for that

I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA)
Interview
Interview process lasts months. By the time it gets to offer, the job you applied for is already filled and you are presented with a new set of openings. Absurd waste of professionals time
