I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Singapore) in Jan 2021
Interview
Before even interviewing, HR pressured me to disclose my current salary. I gave them a range I was expecting, and they agreed the offer would definitely be within this band and not to waste each other's time.
Later, after 8 tiring rounds of interviews, HR threatened again they would not make an offer until I disclosed my actual salary. I had to show them a local government regulation page stating this is no longer allowed.
Then when the offer came, it was still 20% below the floor of my expected range, and definitely below my current salary. The recruiter also said I had 48 hours to accept the offer, otherwise it would lapse. This was so ridiculous and unpleasant I rejected the offer without negotiating further.
Overall very unpleasant experience with the recruiting team. I would advise future candidates to request for 40-50% higher than whatever your target is from the start.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Have you ever faced a communication problem while managing a program? Who with and how did you resolve it?
Did a test task and was called by HR almost immediately for the next round. But salary range (full packet with stock and benefits) and return to office policy did nit much my expectations
very standard. the interviewers had a set of questions to ask about the LPs so we can anticipate beforehand. But I think I got ghosted in the end. One of the interviewers told me about the 2 & 5 rule but its been more than 2 weeks since my last interview and still no response from anyone so idk what happened.
Lengthy, messy schedule, interviews canceled last minute, interviewer late. Rude, disrespectful and dismissive approach toward candidate. Majority of people were from a different team so had no clue about the specifics of the position when asked in the final Q&A. If they treat you like this before joining, can’t imagine after. Application withdrawn.
