Here are the most commonly searched roles for interview reports -
I did an onsite interview process where Amazon came to Buenos Aires to recruit people for AWS Dublin. First there was a call to the recruiter, then an engineer, and then the on site process which consisted of five interviews in a row.
I spent from 8 to 12 doing interviews nonstop, they did not offer either breakfast or lunch or snacks. Even though I think I did well, I never got an email from them, even to say thank you for participating.
At this point I'm happy because I felt the interviewers sounded like robots, they had this script of how one should frame answers and if I didnt frame it like they wanted, it's like they didnt understand me. The difficulty of technica/algorithmicall questions was ok, and the more open ended questions it was more like you had to say what the guy wanted to hear.
It's very strange because they are coming to my country to get software engineers, then they revert the situation as if you are the one "really wanting to work at amazon". I read so many things online about employees being mistreated at amazon and now I think they must be true.

Good interview process overall. The questions were mostly focused on general software engineering knowledge, with a strong emphasis on AI concepts. The interviewers were professional, and the process was well organized.
