I applied through an employee referral. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon
Interview
Phone screen followed by onsite interview. Everything was very quick and professional. They had lots of great feedback after the initial interview. They also helped prepare me for the interview. They definitely want you to succeed and do your best.

Interview
Phone interview - very structured (boxed, rigid ) surprising for a company wanting to be known for innovation
I asked the hiring manager if he’d changed how the team worked together since COVID - he made it sound like it was business as usually, that really seemed a bit contrived
His answers to my questions felt rehearsed and not at all genuine
Received call back for in- person, honestly turned off by the process — just not honest or genuine, not at all what I’d expected for amazon . Interviewer made it sound like I should be honored to be selected and the candidates are just a dime a dozen so they certainly didn’t need me
My opinion - there loss not mine
