I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Herndon, VA) in Aug 2015
Interview
I got contacted via email that the position I applied to on LinkedIn was picked up by the hiring team and they were interested. They said there would be 2 phone interviews and then if I was going to move on I would have an onsite interview. Well I had 2 phone interviews and even the Hiring Manager said she is going to work with the recruiter to have an onsite interview. Well 1.5 weeks go by and nothing. I reached out to the recruiter 2 times because I had other offers and then I get an email back 2 days later saying they are moving onto other candidates and an onsite interview was not needed. I was not really surprised based off the other interview reviews on here but still disappointed. I was more than qualified for the position and the other 2 phone interviews went great. I really wished they would have not said they wanted an on-site interview with me because I delayed some other interviews because of it. Out of the 5 other companies I interviewed with I got 5 offers, something might not be right with Amazon and their interview process.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
General questions about I handled situations in the past jobs I have had. Nothing very difficult for me.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon
Interview
This is for AWS. I wish we got to the point I wanted to apply - the group seems disheveled. AWS sent me an invitation to a networking meeting, send me the wrong time. I was not the only person, 4 of us logged in for the ET meeting. Finally we realized we were sent the PT meeting even though we wanted the ET meeting. During the call, the recruiter said to email her to meet with any additional questions. I set up a meeting based on her schedule. She did not show/call. I inquired about the sitation and set up a second meeting. She did not call/show again. This is poor recruiting technique and does not reflect AWS using a good process to find good candidates. If they filled the positions or I did not meet the basic qualifications, why invite me to the networking meeting and why set up a time to speak? They said they wanted candidates that were curious. I am curious why AWS cannot follow up.
