I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Jun 2020
Interview
If the process didn't take so long only to end in a rejection, it might have been a more positive experience. I applied for the position in April, heard back from HR in mid-May, had my first interview at the end of May, my second interview in early June, and my final virtual loop interview at the end of June. I then didn't hear back about the outcome by the original date so I waited a few days and emailed to follow up and then later that day got a rejection phone call. The HR folks were really nice and helpful through the process, which was good. The interviews I felt went great as well (which is why I was surprised when I didn't get an offer). But it was 3 months of my life spent with major anxiety and stress over what was going to happen, which could've been shortened. I know that the higher the position, the longer it takes to hire, but spreading out the interviews so much made it difficult to apply for other jobs while waiting to hear about next steps.

I applied in-person. I interviewed at Amazon in Jun 2026
Interview
extremely slow & biased. The Bar Raiser wouldn't let me speak and was plain rude. Trivialized everything i said. Was listening only to interrupt & unreasonably object, not to understand/ let me articulate. I tried my best to hold onto to my train of thoughts but then halfway realised if I had to deal with her in my team on a daily basis, I'd quit eventually. So stopped bothering.

Question 1
very vague "LP" centric questions which made no sense IRL.
Difficult and time consuming. Many rounds with challenging questions requiring data driven, STAR method responses. Be prepared to be challenged and make sure you know the Amazon leadership principles very well.

Describe a time you had a disagreement with a coworker. How did you handle it
Made through the final interviews but got rejected. Reached out to HR managers multiple times but no response. I did learn that some HR managers try to find a right position for you when you make it to the final.
