Me postulé a través de un reclutador. Acudí a una entrevista en Amazon (Boston, MA) en ago 2017
Entrevista
Totally disorganized. You could be highly qualified with lot of experience and best education possible but you still will be interviewed by someone who is not qualified. Some of the interviewers have no clue about what they are asking, and the person definitely have no technical depth whatsoever, and if you try to explain, they will hammer you with their own assumption.
Infact, in my interview, the interviewer was asking from her background which was totally un-related to the job or my background. The interviewer was totally out of line the way she conducted the interview. She was totally un-professional, un-prepared for the interview and had no technical depth or program management depth. And even though she is employed with Amazon, her opening statement was she is calling from Microsoft! Go figure!!!! Glad that I was not invited for an onsite, it would have been a bigger ordeal!!!!

Where do I begin?? You are being interviewed by a person, who thinks shouting at the employees and asking a set of repeated questions in a loud voice is program management and that will elicit the required response from developers. !!! Infact the interviewer used the same technique on me by shouting at me and I felt berated. No wonder Amazon's churn rate of employees is One year ofcourse, what do you expect with this kind of employees and culture??
HR is very helpful. He provided me tons of documentations to prep the interview which includes types of questions. They also provide example questions and answers. The HR spent two calls to guide me through the interview process and how to prep the interview.
Normal 5 loop interview. No surprises. No coding interview. Nothing out of the ordinary. All remote. Very helpful recruiter. Hiring Manager interview was a bit odd, but maybe I was tired
Phone screening by HR. Regular tell me about yourself question, and emphasis on being technical as a must. There will be quite a few rounds of interview, and the first one will contain a system design validating your technical skills.
