Candidatei-me online. O processo levou 4 semanas. Fui entrevistado pela Amazon (Zurique) em set. de 2023
Entrevista
Online assessment, technical interview, loop interview with 5 people using Chime. Loop interview was very tiring and many useless questions that don't allow you to represent yourself how you perform in the job at all. You can easily spot who is the BR because it's usually some guy/gal in aws since many years, and from a completely different team.

Candidatei-me por meio de recrutador(a). Fui entrevistado pela Amazon em out. de 2022
Entrevista
Lengthy, exhausting and time consuming with no regards whatsoever for your time. Took them a couple of months to schedule the first phone interview. Then they slept on it for a few weeks where their portal said that this position had actually expired. Then to my surprise they actually came back asking for a full day of back to back meetings to interview and introduce me to their company's culture. What is the best way to introduce someone to a company's culture other than having 5 hours of back to back meetings? They call it the loop, but I have a better name for it. The Gauntlet! I got questioned for 5 hours in an interrogation style with silly questions where they expected me to parrot back their leadership principles while they have showed none of it! Such hypocrisy! I think I could had passed this interview if I didn't maintain my authenticity and just gave them the answers they want to hear. The whole experience felt Orwellian which explains why Amazon is becoming such a Kafkaesque company to work for given the stories I heard in the reviews. I've taken being rejected by their people as a validation! Also it turns out that this role is a mere glorified support engineer who is expected to be a jack of all trades but obviously a master of none!
