A recruiter reached out to me. He was extremely nice and friendly. He could actually maintain a normal conversation. I bonded with him so he passed me on to interview with the hiring manager.
This is where it all went south. The hiring manager was this person from India based in Luxembourg. He had no personality. Did not even care about connecting with me. He went straight into the interview. No smiles, no normal human social interaction… just a dry guy with no personality. Also, I have been doing my masters for the past two years but I could not use any examples from this experience. All my interview examples had to be drawn ONLY from previous employment.
Interviewing with Amazon is the worst. You often get people who think they are God’s best creation. Plus, the interview questions are ridiculously hard, often asking about situations you have not even been through. These guys are OBSESSED with their LPs and will unnecessarily make you go through hours of interviews.
