I am a current employee and wanted to switch fields. First, at times, interviewers have a candidate in mind but call people from outside to have interviews. Second, Amazon prefers outsiders, regardless whether they have experience or not. Third, interviews are intense. They use a pool of questions and structure but don't specify at times what they really want to hear. Fourth, you will interview with more than 3 people at an interview. And even if you get a majority approval,it all comes down to the decision of one person of the team. Fifth, when you apply, 60% of the time, you won't get a response so you might not even get to the interview. Sixth, after the interview, most people don't give you feedback; you have to bother them until they give you an answer, which might be as limited as "you don't have enough work experience " to which you don't understand then what were they thinking when they got your resume. Seventh, subjective, subjective, subjective.
