My first suggestion would be to leverage a tool like Calendly to simplify the scheduling process. Asking the candidate for a list of available times results in too much back and forth. In my experience, the scheduling process always works better when the candidate selects a date and time from the hiring manager’s schedule.
Secondly, Amazon has developed a reputation for being a particularly scary place to work. Amazon's drill-sergeant approach to interviews emboldens this popular perception. I believe candidates interview best when they're reassured and encouraged during the process. When hiring managers resort to picking apart the details of one's resume, candidates instinctively grow defensive. As workplace culture becomes more valued throughout the world, Amazon must reassess its focus on cultural rigidity or face growing attrition as people leave for softer pastures.

- What's the difference between Java and JavaScript?
- How would you go about creating content for an upcoming service?
Pretty standard big tech interview process without exercises. Four behavioral interviews, one bar raiser interview loop, and you submit a portfolio of writing work. If you don't have a portfolio, you complete writing tasks and submit them.

Tell me about a time when someone gave you feedback on your work
Ho presentato la mia candidatura tramite un selezionatore. La procedura ha richiesto 5 giorni. Ho sostenuto un colloquio presso Amazon (Lexington, SC) nel mese di lug 2022
Colloquio
I was contacted by a recruiter and a phone screen was set up with a senior writer. I had prepared extensively, but she asked none of the questions almost experts say Amazon asked. I thought the interview could go either way, but did not think I was able to get across my experience in an effective way.

A lot of “tell meabout a time.” The questions were always seemingly very similar. I was not asked about the 16 principles Amazon tells you to know inside and out.
Ho presentato la mia candidatura tramite segnalazione di un dipendente. La procedura ha richiesto 4 settimane. Ho sostenuto un colloquio presso Amazon (Vancouver, BC) nel mese di mag 2021
Colloquio
I was referred by an AWS employee. The scheduling process was a nightmare. The actual interview took place over the phone with the manager and one other tech writer.
It was 90 minutes of unrelenting "Tell us about a time when ..." questions. Ninety minutes. Every single question I was asked began "Tell me about a time when ..." It was almost robotic.
An hour into it, I decided I was no longer interested in working on a team with such an unimaginative manager. Afterwards I googled "AWS job interview questions" and guess what came up? That's right, "Tell me about a time ..."
