Amazon contacted me a few months after I had applied online to set up a phone interview for a position on the kindle cross platform team. After the first interview, they set up a second one a week after. This is when they showed how unorganized and unprofessional they were. For the second phone call, the wrong person called me asking for a totally different person. I was then contacted by somebody telling me the interviewer was too busy to talk. We setup another time. The next time, I was informed again that they were too busy to talk. So it took three times to get my second phone interview. After passing the second phone screening and I was invited to fly up to Seattle. Everything was paid for and they set me up in Hyatt in downtown. It was a very nice room and area. The day before I flew out, they sent me an email stating I had to make a one hour presentation of my work. This was a surprise to me and really short notice. On the day of the interview, I had a presentation and five personal interviews. A couple were from separate departments and the others were from the team I would be working for. I had one bar-raiser interview me who tried to intimidate me with a blank stare when asking behavioral questions. She would go against almost every answer I had even though my answers were made perfect sense. I had another bar-raiser type who made me whiteboard different design strategies for 30 minutes straight. During an interview with the team manager, I was told that I did not fit the 'Senior UX' role but would fit more as a Visual Designer. This is the part that baffled me. I applied for two roles, 'UI Designer' and 'Senior UX Designer'. I'm the beginning I was told it would be for the latter but towards the end of the process they switched it suddenly to the senior position. This confused me as to which position I was interviewing for. Why would Amazon fly someone out for a position when the person isn't even 'qualified' to interview in the first place. This shows how unorganized they are as a company and why I will never interview with them again. A week later, I had to send an email saying I had an offer from another company in order for them to subsequently call me with a short rejection voicemail. No reasons, nothing. Just a "thanks but no thanks". The designers and product managers at Amazon think they are the all that, smarter than you and can't stop talking about themselves and what they've done. Truthfully, a lot of their portfolios aren't even up to par. They will continue to make second rate devices at a cheap price and sell a small fraction compared to iOS devices. They push products out without perfecting them and have no true design philosophy. They will never be on par with Apple design standards if they continue to hire designers not on their creativity but on how well they do on pressure exercises and behavioral questions. Look at Google before their recently changed design philosophy.
