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

No, please. The more you allow, the more he will do it. Don't allow it, please. These individuals need to understand that if they treat others in that manner, it's their responsibility, but at work, there is a code of conduct we must follow.
No, if someone raises their voice at you and you consider it abusive you shouldn't put up with that. But, I will say that we often deal with stressful situations and some people don't handle it well and engage in loud outbursts. Putting up with that type of behavior can come with the territory. And it's probably for each of us to decide whether it's worth it and if it's something we can shrug off. Or if it's just over the line.
No. You shouldn't have to deal with this kind of abusive, belittling behavior at work. With that said, I know "just get a new job" is much easier said than done in this job market, so I would't blame you for sticking around if you had to. But I would definitely start applying to other firms with the intention of leaving as soon as you receive a good offer.
No! Everyone gets stressed, especially when prepping for trial and, yes there could be some “tone”, “excited” volume even some aggro demonstrative actions (slamming things around) but allowing someone, even at work, to raise their voice at you on a consistent basis is condoning that behavior and opens the door for worse behavior. There was an attorney in my area that was notorious for being a hothead - yelling, slamming doors, throwing things. . . NO, that is not okay.
I know things can be high stress at times, but that is never inappropriate way to treat someone you work with. Have you ever been able to have an honest conversation with him or is there someone else in the office you could go to for help? I wouldn't want to work under someone who treats me that way either.

No. I had an attorney yell at me in front of the client and that was the very last straw. I gave the attorney my resignation letter and left on very good terms. I did forgive him but, the pain of embarrassment stuck with me for a long while. An attorney I do contract Discovery work for told me, when I stopped talking about it then that meant I completely forgave the previous attorney. That attorney was RIGHT!
It will take a while to heal. But forgive and pray for that attorney because clearly your attorney is going through something.
In theory - no, in reality for a paycheck at a good salary - yes
