I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Amazon
Interview
The hiring and recruiting culture at Amazon is clearly designed to wear you down and weed you out during the interview process.
DO NOT demean yourself by even beginning the ridiculous interview process here. In addition, read how many horrible reviews there are about the work culture.
Sad, unbelievable, really that such a successful firm who 'lives and dies' by "the customer comes first", cares nothing about their employees.
Interviewer called 45 minutes late - I was shocked. It got worse from there - you will not experience an interview, you WILL be interrogated. No matter how much homework and preparation you do, you will not surface unscathed. Rude, arrogant, did nothing to sell ME on working for them. All around a very broken process.
I politely declined offers to move forward and feel that I truly dodged a bullet by maintaining my integrity and removing myself from their "process".
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What happened to your last job? The interviewer had clearly not reviewed my resume prior to calling me (late) - I'm a consultant, so nothing "happened" to my last job. The badgering continued with "well, what 'happened to you' that forced you into consulting"?? WHAT? Also, amazon asks questions that are absolutes, so if you don't answer a firm yes or no, they railroad you and talk over you and, well, it is simply the most unpleasant, disrespectful interview I have ever had and I have over 20 years of experience in my field. Run, don't walk, away if you feel somehow "lucky" that Amazon is interested in you. Run.
The process consisted of three rounds - a recruiter call, a case study round, and a final behavioral interview. The case study involved analyzing a dataset and presenting recommendations to a panel. Interviewers were professional and asked thoughtful follow-up questions. Feedback was provided within a week of the final round.

I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Amazon (Austin, TX)
Interview
The process consisted of a technical and behavioral round. Although the recruiter stated it would cover SQL and behavioral topics, the interview focused entirely on scenario-based and behavioral questions without a live SQL technical assessment. Communication after the interview was poor; the recruiter did not respond to follow-up emails, and an automated rejection notice was sent two days later.
