My experience being interview by Amazon is mixed...I had a screening call + three phone interviews with Amazon, for an elite devops system/network team. They were amazing and very nice people, from the initial RH contact to the technicians evaluating me. Actually to be fair, EXTRA nice people. On the other hand, some other recruiter messed up, and put me with an interview that I only found out at the last minute it was for a system help desk position in some other occasion. That experience was horrible, and the technician who was supposed to conduct the interview missed it and passed on the interview to an indian employee which accent I barely could keep up with...I just did not abort the interview out of respect. What I would say is that they handle differently people that applies for the more important positions, and in that respect, they are not much more different from other big players in the industry. To give credit to Amazon, their hiring process seems to be saner than Google, where you get contacted by a lot of clueless 3rd party headhunters that try to coax senior people like me into lowly positions that do not match our experience.
