      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Irvine, CA) in Apr 2014

      Interview

      After discussions with the recruiter and a phone screen with the hiring manager, I was invited to an in-person interview. It was very traditional, one-on-one with other Developement or Program Managers. They asked mostly situational questions. The panel was not well prepared, seems like they were reading the resume for the first time. Pretty typical style, strait-forward and they were friendly.

      Interview questions [2]

      Question 1

      Situational type questions like "demonstrate/explain a tough challenge and how did you overcome?" Not very many technical questions.
      Answer question

      Question 2

      Management style?
      Answer question
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Amazon (New York, NY) in May 2020

      Interview

      Extremely poor recruiting experience from Amazon recruiter, poor time management, poor candidate experience management, poor communication management. The recruiter is not professional. The interviewers are okay and professional, very strong interviews. The LOOP interview is a full day with 6 interviewers and takes at least a week to prepare.
