I applied online. The process took 7 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (San Francisco, CA) in Jun 2020
Interview
Linked In - > L5 (4+ years of experience) -> Recruiter called on the next day to schedule Phone screen -> Phone was relatively easy coding, few hard behavioral questions. I answered every single question, coding wasn't optimized but we are QA for the Christ's sake, huh?! -> In few hours got a call with a good feedback. - > Scheduled onsite interview in 12 days. -> Onsite was very draining, a lot of Bezos-sect questions aka Amazon principles - surpassingly I answered them all. First interviewer was very interesting to have conversation with, the rest 3 just was there and pretty much didn't participate or react anyhow just ask a question and listed plus typing. No reaction is a negative impression, - am I talking to myself here!? Answered all the questions, coding, testing. The feedback was not deep enough of the knowledge. Seemed like the reason was in my skin color (if you know what I mean), but it is whatever. Two times during the Amazon Chime just hanged or stopped showing video (Amazon best practices). Overall impression is bad, interviewer should participate and not just be out there as a prosecutor asking questions. 2 out of 4 were pretty incompetent interviewers.
