GAFAM

I had a phone interview with an Amazon manager back in April, got dinged two days later. A recruiter contacted me in June for another role, asked if I had interviewed with Amazon in the past 6 months, I replied yes and she still pushed me through. I’m one week at Amazon now.

I think the standard is 6 months but it’s not a hard rule evidently.

likehelpful

You can apply to a different role 1 month late
We recommend that you wait to reapply to the same role for at least 6-12 months depending on how big your Target group is.

Personally I'd worry less about how long to wait and spend more time rounding out the skills you need to be successful. Note that I did not say practice interviewing...I said learn the skills that you need to work at faang.

Chances are it's tech or deep business skills

Amazon is typically 6 if it’s for experience or just a bad interview.

If it’s due to major concerns related to leadership principles they may allow you to apply but they’ll flag you and it’ll never advance.

That’s because when someone says they work at FAANG it’s usually amazon. 😂

People forget apple all the time; it happens. And Salesforce rule of thumb is 3 apps per year, so without a referral maybe that?

Apple isn’t centralized. We hire by team, so no real time limit

I applied for multiple roles at Facebook within a 6 month time frame and ended up going through one interview but didn’t make the final cut. A week after that I got contacted about a different role. So I’m assuming they’re not centralized and don’t have one model they follow when hiring.

Dont think there’s any point in applying more than 3 times / year for different roles if your resume doesn’t change. Make sure you get a referral so they’ll at least look at your CV

AWS is pretty much a separate entity, isn't it?

I'd give it at least six months to a year. They keep your resume on file so sometimes they might reach back out to you if you got far enough in the interview stage.

I had two rounds of discussion (more than a month ago) and the recruiter informed me that they’ll be scheduling the HR discussion and then be rolling out the offer.

It has been two weeks now and I haven’t heard from the recruiter nor has my HR discussion been scheduled.

The recruiter does not answer my calls or reply to e-mails.

Has anyone else faced this while interviewing with KGS (Customer Advisory)?

I gave interview in Amazon and cleared all the rounds , then went on hold and still on hold due to hiring freeze in that departement. HR does respond and update me when reached out.

Interesting thing which happened here is iam cracking each every product based interviews now after my tough preparation for Amazon and getting higher packages than what Amazon would give. So whatever happens , happens for good. Cheers Amazon
