I applied for a particular Security Engineering role (Blue Team focused) and interviewed for that role. After the interview, the recruiter said that they thought I would be a better fit for a different role and set up a 1hr chat for that role. The job ID the recruiter sent me DID NOT exist on Amazon's Jobs page. I emailed her back and asked for specifics of the role - got no response. Emailed the recruiter again - no response. Finally get a response - that includes the same job ID and asks basic HR/hiring questions, but no info on the role. So I hop on the call and am blindsided by the interviewer talking about how the role is heavily focused on Offensive Security. The interviewer said "I know you don't have any offensive testing experience and it is not your wheelhouse" (My background is primarily threat modeling/Architecture/vuln assessment). He said they look for more security general people. I thought that would be ok, since I would be able to express a wide range of my knowledge and talk basic concepts in offensive security. The Interviewer then ONLY asked specific questions about complex pen testing topics, and nothing from any other realm of security. Of course I didn't do well! I feel like Amazon needs to step up on either communication or preparing their interviewers for non-biased interviews in the future (interviewer worked in offensive security). Also "Hire the Best" - I think they need to audit their recruiter's inboxes because they are the worst I've ever had.

First meeting with recruiter collected all information. then meeting scheduled with Hiring Manager: Asked questions from the job description but it was vague in which domain they were looking for.
