I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Amazon (Luxembourg)
Interview
The worst interview process I ever had was for Amazon's Luxembourg office - due to its extremely time-consuming and a highly secretive and non-transparent process.
The demands on candidate's time are exorbitant, with a necessity to take several days off.
However, Amazon wouldn't even let candidates see their own online test records which are held top secret. The fact of withholding results is *not* communicated prior to taking any test which ex post looks like an intentional and a rather bizarre strategy to deprive candidates from the very start to access any of their own records.
Most of people have passed various tests like GMAT, SAT etc etc but with Amazon a candidate is denied an access to her/his own test results.
On the other hand, Amazon keeps candidates' interview records for an undisclosed amount of time, claiming "legitimate" rights for that.
All the above can not but raise more questions about the process, data privacy, data use etc - something that Amazon is actually trying to avoid at all costs as a disclosure.
The last, but not least is that HR interviewers are former policemen, and that naturally leads to an interrogation instead of an interview. They will literally put every word that comes out of your mouth in doubt, judging you guilty irrespective of your answers. You will feel like being in a police station, too.
Finally, there won't be *any* feedback (except a standard 'thank you for your time') after these numerous interviews and tests.

Question 1
All questions about Amazon values which are listed on their website.
The process took a very long time and after 4 rounds of interviwes I got only an auto rejection email. The company check only the Leadership principles, and it looks like they don't have an interest in smth else. Anyway people were nice, the case study was interesting as well.

Did a test task and was called by HR almost immediately for the next round. But salary range (full packet with stock and benefits) and return to office policy did nit much my expectations
very standard. the interviewers had a set of questions to ask about the LPs so we can anticipate beforehand. But I think I got ghosted in the end. One of the interviewers told me about the 2 & 5 rule but its been more than 2 weeks since my last interview and still no response from anyone so idk what happened.
