      Average interview

      Application

      I interviewed at Amazon

      Interview

      Call with a recruiter followed by technical interview. The technical interview covered broad Machine learning questions. Then the coding part. The problem required prior knowledge of a calculus theorem, which in my opinion was not fair.

      Question 1

      Broad ML questions + 1 coding question

      Easy interview

      Application

      The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Amazon

      Interview

      Recruiter reached out me to invite a hiring event. As it was in another country, I asked whether they provide support for visa and transfer. The recruiter asked for my availability for an interview as the reply. I was planning to apply for a similar position in another country, so I asked the details for the position they are considering, whether it is a general application or for a specific position. I had some other constraints, but she replied none of them. They arranged the interview. I asked details to HR in the department that I was going to interview with. She referred me to the recruiter, who kept ignoring my questions. Without having any feedback from the recruiter about my concerns, I went into the phone interview. The questions was very easy and basic. Coding question was also very simple and I wrote it. The interview took around 40 minutes. The same day, I got the rejection email. I asked whether I can apply to another position, which I was originally willing to apply, to the recruiter. Guess what, she ignored this email as well! I understand that recruiters are busy but they are taking our times as well, so they should at least reply candidates' emails! I did interviews with another tech giant, whose process started with a one-hour phone call with the recruiter to understand both sides' needs. There is no excuse for Amazon to ignore candidates.

      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Amazon in Jan 2021

      Interview

      The interview process is very structured and clearly explained. The decision making on the employer's side was quite fast. The only negative factor during the interview process was that no one showed up for my first scheduled interview.
