I interviewed at Amazon Web Services (Herndon, VA)
Interview
Interview was one sided with AWS lead boasting about the company and work. 30 mins of the scheduled 1 hour interview was wasted with describing AWS instead of job responsibilities and experience discussion. Outside engineers are looked down upon. Questions were related to leadership qualities and experience
First HR phone call Second round was online with technical interviews and behavioral questions. The link was sent via Amazon Chime. You must answer the questions according to the Smart technique. All the questions are related to 14 amazon principles. Question are started with "Tell me about a time....."

I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon Web Services in Aug 2021
Interview
I was messaged by a recruiter on LinkedIn to apply through their career website, then got a response after asking for my availabilities. The first round was around 90 minutes, mostly talking about previous experience, especially with certain equipment. After that, I was scheduled for four-hour (four rounds back-to-back) interviews. Prior to the interviews, I was given an interview guide (Leadership Principles, the STAR method, etc.) The interviewers mostly asked technical and behavioral questions: 1st interviewer - Mechanical knowledge 2nd interviewer - Electrical Knowledge 3rd interviewer - Safety Knowledge 4th interviewer - I was honestly so tired that I just wanted to end the process. They gave me an answer after a week. I know I didn't do well so I expected it. However, they don't give any feedback regarding your interview performance. The recruitment team is really proactive with regard to the response time, but it's just the interview process in general is very exhausting.
