I applied online. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Amazon (London, England) in Apr 2015
Interview
Incredibly in-depth phone interviews that precede (what I hear) is a rigorous day-long multi-session in-person interview. If they are comfortable treating their interview candidates harshly, it makes you wonder how they treat their employees.
Remote and on video, interview was about 15 mins and was very quick. Answered general questions about my work and background. I interviewed with two people and was immediately given an offer after the call.

I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon in Nov 2024
Interview
They first rejected me through the system and offered me the online assessment link. The first version of the job description didn’t mention that the role is a contractor, and HR didn't confirm this with me until I passed the online assessment.
The interviewer looked distracted all the time, they even turned off the camera in the middle of the interview. The interviewer was in a busy place with a poor internet connection while Amazon required the interviewee to have the video call in a quiet place.
When I asked the question about the job description as there is some mismatching, the interviewer mentioned that they are still rewriting the description.
