Colloquio
I wasn't looking for a job when I was contacted by an amazon recruiter who like my experience on linked in (hadoop in particular), phone call was quick and basically about telling me about position and about my interest in next step. I agree to a phone interview and talked with manager a week later. To my surprise all most all the questions where behavioral, being that I haven't been in the job market in 6 years I didn't realize how common these interviews are now at tech companies. Example of some of the questions where: what would boss say about you, tell me about a risk you took, what would your current boss say about you ,etc. I thought the interview went ok, but my interview skill were a little rusty and I never did hear anything back from Amazon.
Phone screen, 5 1 hour interviews for loop
Each hour was dedicated to 2 LPs. System design was more collaborative than i anticipated which was a pleasant surprise. The phone screen mostly focused on my previous experiences

The interview process is straightforward but intense.
First interview was with another Software Dev Manager in the same team. After that the famous loop interview where I had to take 5 interviews in a row over two days ( using paid holidays at work ). Recruiter gave a lot of information about possible questions and helped with materials. However, I had to use same stories few times as the different interviewers asked same questions few times.
Everything is okay, I had a good time during the interviews and it was a good exercise. However, I simply do not understand why they have to call to reject? I am not a customer to be obsessed with. A straight cut rejection via email works better than taking time out of my busy schedule.
If they used this time to share some feedback, that would be useful. If they do not share any reason why I have to continue formal small talk just to get the rejection on my face?

Had 1 round of System design interview. I thought the interview went ok, if not bad, it went decently well. Received a rejection response, while asking to apply 6 months later.
