J'ai postulé via un recruteur. Le processus a pris 5 semaines. J'ai passé un entretien chez Amazon (Seattle, WA) en juin 2016
Entretien
Applied via LinkedIn.
Recruiter called and gave an overview of how interview process works. took 2 weeks to schedule an interview. All behavioral questions regarding various situations.
Total 3 rounds of telephonic interviews in all 3 interviews the interviewers were always in rush and cutting the answer short saying "in the interest of just 60 minutes we have.....". Offered various cutting design questions. All behavioral questions had no right or wrong answer. The last interviewer who apparently been with Amazon for 10 years and had 50 people report to him was intimidating because in BH questions it's all about perception and no correct answer. I learnt he was the decision maker

J'ai postulé via la recommandation d'un employé. Le processus a pris 2 semaines. J'ai passé un entretien chez Amazon (Tokyo) en févr. 2026
Entretien
The interview process is straightforward but intense.
First interview was with another Software Dev Manager in the same team. After that the famous loop interview where I had to take 5 interviews in a row over two days ( using paid holidays at work ). Recruiter gave a lot of information about possible questions and helped with materials. However, I had to use same stories few times as the different interviewers asked same questions few times.
Everything is okay, I had a good time during the interviews and it was a good exercise. However, I simply do not understand why they have to call to reject? I am not a customer to be obsessed with. A straight cut rejection via email works better than taking time out of my busy schedule.
If they used this time to share some feedback, that would be useful. If they do not share any reason why I have to continue formal small talk just to get the rejection on my face?

Question 1
A time you were driving toward a goal and realized more than halfway in that it may not be the best goal.
Had 1 round of System design interview. I thought the interview went ok, if not bad, it went decently well. Received a rejection response, while asking to apply 6 months later.
