I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Amazon in Dec 2018
Interview
Had a phone interview with a person with very limited language skills. I am very comfortable with all cultures and accents after being in IT for a long time but this person wouldn’t be qualified to work at a fast food restaurant. He did not use STAR format, didn’t care about answers and didn’t have any follow up questions. They got back to me with rejection next day. Too bad - I spent a week prepping for this interview. Really Amazon???
First I passed the assessment its not an easy one, next step is phone screen 1 hour interview, my recruiter shared helpful information; connect 12 LP's to your work examples using a STAR method, 2-3 examples per LP.
Process was relatively straight forward, I didn’t make it to the loop. What I can tell you is the recruiter will be overly excited about you as they are with all candidates. They’ll tell you, you can expect to hear back in two days for feedback. Truth is, if they reject you then you will not hear back within 2 days it will be more like a week. Silence means you aren’t getting the job, they’re very binary.

Question 1
When did you make a choice no one asked you for? Why?
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Amazon (Luxembourg)
Interview
Good interview, reached the marathon loop of interviews. It was intense and quite focused on STAR stories obviously. Got some nice feedbacks as well to improve in case I managed to get another interview in a few months
