I am interviewing for an Amazon AMZL L5 Prog Manager. The recruiter has sent me the names of the interviewers and the BR of the loop seems to be a L5 Prog. Manager. Does that usually happen during Amazon interviews?

Has anyone interviewed with Amazon in the last 6 months. I finished my loop for a finance role. It’s been 8 business days and no update from the recruiter. I mailed the recruiter who said apologies for the delay but we will get back to you with next steps. Has anyone had this experience and what was the outcome Amazon

Yup so you can research. Good luck. Amazon is a shitshow
:| Rn the job market itself is a shit show. Not just Amazon. I am just glad to be at least getting a chance to interview. (Fingers crossed)
Yes you get the names of all staff involved in your loop. It won’t mean much but good to familiarise yourself with their background and interaction with your role (LinkedIn should help). You’ll also have someone completely unrelated to your role brought in to be a ‘bar raiser’ to ultimately decide if you are a good Amazon fit - they can veto your Amazon hiring decision should they wish. Are you concerned they are another L5?
I was interviewed by another L6 in my loop (I am a L6). It’s standard. Your bar raiser may not be that person (apologies I misread your original post) but just be conscious that person will be in the mix.

It’s perfectly normal for an L5 to have an L5 Bar Raiser.

BRs are usually the same level as the role. And it is an important person to get an inclined from. Good luck
Don’t underestimate an L5 interviewing you. The post debrief between interviewers to assess if you’re a fit or no is brutal.
Getting invited to the loop is a good thing, there’s a very small margin for error - so give it your everything
Same level bar raiser is standard. You won't get a higher level than role. Didn't recycle too many of the same stories to different interviews.
