Here are the most commonly searched roles for interview reports -
I applied online. I interviewed at Amazon in Nov 2018
Interview
Applied online, recruiter called me to schedule screening. Screening ended up being with the hiring manager, not, recruiting (fine by me). 2 hours before the interview, one recruiter wrote me asking to reschedule due to the hiring manager's conflict and asked for more available times from me. Later that day, a different recruiter told me they filled the role and asked if I would be interested in other roles. Well, which is it and which one of the recruiters lied?

Question 1
What do you consider when you launch Kindle Content in India?
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Mar 2018
Interview
1. Phone screening with hiring manager
2. Phone screening with possible colleague
3. Full-day onsite interviews in Seattle
All the rumors about Amazon are true - make sure you read the NY Times article about their company culture and found yourself thinking "that sounds great." The phone screens were fine. The on-site interviewers were just flat out rude and didn't have the slightest sense that I needed to be sold on the company as well (I had another job and had been recruited by their team). I almost just got up and left during one of them - it was almost comical how antagonistic they were being. It was like they didn't know the difference between being a tough interviewer and just your average jerk.
I can't fault them for following a process that works for them, but other companies have tough processes without looking awful.
