Colloquio
Initial Phone Interview, then an interview with Sr. Project Manager and then Interview onsite with team 1:1, Director and Sr. Manager. (This was amazon acquired company audible.com)
From the benefits point of view it is good company, from culture very UN-natural. You hardly see people mingle or talk. Most of them are in there own place. Too subdued, quite and seemed very unnatural.
With the interview process, I found mostly incompetent senior leadership. They had no direction or a valuable insight. Team and people I found where very polite, nice but not much depth in technology. Most junior to mid level talent. They like to bring in fresh talent and tailor to the needs and culture of the company. But sounded and looked very fake. If they see you as a treat in interview process you will not be extended any offers. They will advertise high salary for the positions so that they get as much as information possibly from competing company talent which use to better their operations, delivery and engineering. This is very typical of Google, Amazon and Apple. Not worth working in my opinion if you are a senior talent person with can do attitude. From the interviews I guessed based on their input on the questions I asked they were lagging very much in technology, implementation, integration, delivery and operations. But mostly management aspect was very weak and sad.

Recruiter send me an OA and even I did'nt attend it yet, she told me that I failed. After some research they notice they screen my previous OA result. I don't like this lack of system.

First there was the recruiter interview to gather some information. Followed by 5 rounds "on-site remote" with average difficulty, but with some poor performing interviewers. Got denied and was promised feedback but got ghosted.

Typical Amazon procedure: recruiter reaches out. This time, instead of just clicking the delete button, I was actually intrigued with the team: their LEO satellite group.
Pretty much breezed through the HR interview, and then proceeded to the first-round screen. I aced the coding part, and thought I said everything they wanted to hear (coding solution, the (now 16, used to be 14!) Leadership Principles they seem to drink like Kool-Aid over there. Signs pointed to going to the next round of interviewing.
Alas, they passed on me, while continuing to hide behind their veil of non-accountability. Well, I'm done with these Darwin clowns. There are many other good opportunities out there, that are NOT Amazon!

Linked-list question (aced it)
Find all 2x2 sub-arrays inside a larger array (didn't get to that, but I'm sure it's on Leetcode somewhere).
Post-word: I got approached by Amazon twice since then. No thanks!
