Amazon Interview Experience (Program Manager Role) -

1.5 years back I interviewed for L6: Got through the phone failed the loop

This year I interviewed for L5: Got through the phone & failed the loop again

I wish they provided at least some specific feedback for me to better my future interviews. I know many of you will say it is best that I didn't get it but it is overly disappointing to have invested so much time preparing LP questions and get this outcome.

Any advice/ thoughts???!

I’m sorry to hear this! It’s probably the hardest interview process I’ve been through so don’t beat yourself up about it, practice makes perfect!

From the research and reading I did in preparation for my loop, I had 4 STAR scenarios memorised and when walking the interviewer through the scenario and made it a deal to tie each result back to a leadership principle. Also word drop Situation, Task, Action, Result when walking the interviewer through as it helps them with their notes. You always have to mention the stakeholders and their role too. When talking about results you need to tie it back to the business and what was the outcome, how was it measured, did it improve anything?

This is what worked for me. It’s also good to research who is interviewing you (on LinkedIn) so you can tailor your responses (where possible). I hope this makes sense!

Feel free to DM!

Last week I got automated call from infosys and asked few details .

Today same hr called and said she will be scheduling a client interview.

My doubt is till now I didn't received any mail from infosys. So this is scam or part of infosys interview process?

I found Google and Facebook recruiters to be efficient and TikTok so-so, if not a little slow, but 6 days+ seems poor.
