I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Amazon in Sep 2022
Interview
Absolutely terrible experience.
No issues with the initial coding assessment. Medium level Leetcode questions.
For the video interview, my interviewer was terrible. He did not seem like he wanted to be there and was difficult to understand.
Afterward, I waited over 3 weeks without getting a response and ended up accepting another offer before hearing back. I emailed the recruitment team twice, and they had the audacity to tell me to ask for an extension from the other company I already had an offer from. Also, not once was I ever given a recruiter's personal email to connect with an actual human.
