I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Amazon Web Services

Interview

Coding assessment then a “phone interview” (which was actually a video call). My subsequent invitation to a second interview was later followed by Outlook’s automated “the sender would like to recall the message…” email, without explanation. Heard nothing for a week, when the recruiter then sent a generic rejection email with no mention of (let alone an explanation/apology for) the invite she tried to silently withdraw.

I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon Web Services

Interview

I was a contractor, so my experience may be slightly different. I had a brief call with a recruiter for a general overview. My second call took place with one of the managers which lasted about 30 minutes. They asked me about my experience and then some theoretical questions. My final interview was with a member of the team that I would be working with. They wanted to get to know my personality better and to see if I would mesh well with everybody. Everyone was super nice. Then entire process took about two weeks.

The interviewer would ask a few questions in Mandarin, and I was to answer as best as I could. It was a basic interview that asked you about yourself, your past employment and why do you want to join Amazon. Unfortunately I overestimated my Mandarin abilities and did not do well.

Interviewed with recruiter. Recruiter was very helpful and was able to accurately convey their expectations. This was followed by a panel interview. The panelists seemed very tech focused and didn't seem to have a great handle on the actual business processes.

Alex L.

Applied for a job a few weeks back, got a call from HR yesterday morning about an interview next week. She mentioned she'd shoot me an email with all the interview details, but so far, my inbox is empty. Assuming I'll hear from her early next week, is it normal for them to expect me to show up for an in-person interview on short notice, like couple days?
