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!
