I am now quite happy that I failed in the Amazon recruitment process.

Their guidance said that I should prepare couple of weeks for the interview. For me they gave one weekend which I had to use for the family event. Perhaps I was not engaged enough after all.

It became very obvious in the interview process that there was nothing to get excited about company wise. They didn't tell me anything about the company, at all. Just a bunch of questions anyone with a textbook could answer. Except for some reason I had to write code on a whiteboard. As if laptop's are a scarce resource and can't be spared for an interview.

The really funny part was when I started asking the HR person about the teams I was interviewing with. I asked some really basic questions and she had no clue how to answer them. Just easy stuff like "Why does this team have more than the other team?" and "How long has this team been together, how long have they worked on this project?". She had no idea how to answer.

They didn't even make me a offer. But what is really funny is every few months I get a request to come interview again for a totally unrelated position.
