      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Amazon in Aug 2022

      Interview

      I was contacted by an Amazon recruiter about this position He was a very nice guy, very respectful and you can feel from speaking to him that he wanted you to succeed He asked me a couple of questions regarding my past experience that was of interest to him and after chatting for a while, he was interested in going forward with the process to get me a technical interview few days later He told me what to expect and what subjects to review so I can be better prepared to answer the technical questions For the technical interview, the interviewer was also a very nice guy, very knowledgeable and respectful He talks very well, he explain slowly he was very calm trying to make me at ease and he makes sure that you understand the question Overall, I enjoyed the experience even though I was not qualified to continue the interview process and judging from the recruiter and the technical interviewer, it's true that Amazon not only hires the best but also very nice people
