6, yes 6 rounds of phone calls, and an all day interview gauntlet with a number of individuals who haven't bothered to read your resume. If you don't read any further past this, just take that into consideration before applying or engaging with this company. These aren't calls that take 5-10 mins, these are 30-60+ min engagements during business hours, with nothing more shared than a position description and promises of discussing salary requirements at a later date. These rounds are interspersed with a number of e-mails and phone calls from their HR/recruiting team, yes team, who also don't seem to be on the same page with regards to balancing out their interview requests with your professional schedule. None of the individuals seem to communicate with one another from the recruiting team, as you have to repeat and re-send information via e-mail multiple times. Each phone call/conversation refers back to Amazon-internal processes and standards which interviewers expect you to memorize and apply to your work history, ignoring the fact that their principles are not applicable to all areas of business or interviewee experience. This does not stop recruiting from impressing upon you a series of tasks for which to prepare for each phase of their hiring process. The largest drawback of the process is the amount of billable time that AWS expects you to sacrifice, before discussing any salary requirements of the position. This led to taking PTO to attend a 6 hour interview day, not even with lunch or accommodations provided, and repeating several elements of my employment history and experience. At the end of this series of e-mails, phone calls, and in-person interviews, only to be presented with a pay band which was less than I'm currently making. This is a lot of sunk cost to reach a finish line and realize the juice isn't worth the squeeze. I wouldn't recommend this experience to anyone unless they have a bevy of free time to spend on a 2nd job.
