Question 1
How would you contribute to the culture of Day One
The Amazon interview process is long but very well‑organized and helpful. It not only allows the company to identify the right candidate but also gives applicants a clear opportunity to understand if the role matches their career goals. I found the interviewers professional and respectful, and the overall experience left me with a positive impression.
A link would be sent to the interviewee, but the interviewer would not show up. Very disappointing. I really had high hope but it didn't happen for me during Covid
Contacted by a recruiter on a late Friday afternoon. Her email went to spam. By that Sunday afternoon, I received an e-mail stating it was the final notice to respond to her email. Sent an e-mail and scheduled a video interview a week later. About two hours before the interview, the interviewer changed. This new interviewer had no clue what to do - didn't have my resume, didn't have my writing samples or anything. Led me onto to believe I did well.
