Interview
Recruiter had found my resume from job portal and had scheduled the interview. The first round was telephonic. The Interviewer spent 30 mins and was focusing on my current job and the business use case around it, he tried to apply his experience around the product we were building in my current job and could not grasp how things have changed since the time he went out of touch with the market.
He then spent 15 more minutes asking about my current role.

I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Oct 2016
Interview
Very professionally conducted interview process. Interviewers were very polite. Went to Seattle and met 5 to 6 interviewers. Really enjoyed the first interview with the Principal Engineer. Rest of the interviews were with Managers and they repeatedly asked the same questions to ensure there is consistency in my answers. Had to decline the opportunity due to relocation issues.

I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Amazon (Atlanta, GA) in Jan 2017
Interview
A recruiter reached out to me on Linkedin to invite me to interview with them for a Software Development Manager position. He asked me to provide some hours of availability for a phone interview, which I did. They chose one of the windows and sent me an interview invite, and we agreed that the interviewer would call me at a particular number. Unfortunately, my interviewer no-showed! No cancellation email or postponement email.
