I applied online. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Amazon (Hayward, CA) in Apr 2022
Interview
I was approached by a Amazon recruiter for a technical program manager at the Hayward, CA data center.
I was encouraged to apply for the position, and filled out a questionnaire. I was sent an email from the Amazon recruiter indicating that I would receive a separate email to schedule a 45 minute phone screening. I waited 24 hours, and never received the phone screening interview email. I checked all my spam folders and no email was ever sent. I reached out to the Amazon recruiter, explained the situation, and asked if Amazon was still considering me for the position. The Amazon recruiter never responded back to me.
The recruiter ghosted me and wasted my time. Don’t contact me and promise me a interview, if you don’t have any intentions to give me that interview and follow up.
I applied online. I interviewed at Amazon (Brisbane) in May 2026
Interview
I applied online. After about a week or two, a recruiter from Amazon phoned me and we spoke for about 45 minutes. He was very pleasant to speak to, we covered some basics around the role and its expectations, and he laid out the next steps in the interview process, including the STAR method. The second step was a line manager interview where he focused on details of past projects and lessons / outcomes. The next step (which I didn't make it to) would have consisted of several interviewers asking different types of questions, and at this stage you don't need to satisfy each interviewer. I presume after this they give you a result. Much of what is documented online aligns with my experiences.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Tell me about a time where you had to resolve conflict.
Applied, Recruiter Screen then nothing. Not sure when I'll get a call back. The process seems super complicated. Will apply again now that I know what they are looking for.
HR Screening was scheduled. Then 1 technical screening phone interview was scheduled, followed by two Behavioral interviews, followed by two System design interviews, followed by 1 bar raiser interview. Lastly there was an offer.
