Process
This is very draining. Candidates will be attending all 5 rounds on the same day, talking to at least 10-12 different people. I feel it would be great if the interview was spread out over a couple of days.

Amazing learning and growing experience
Data Engineer • Current Employee

Pros: Personally, I see my career exponentially growing at Amazon. Amazon encourages continuous learning. Amazon in itself is a job marketplace. Once a part of the firm, you have the liberty to choose your career path. I switched my role from BA to DE. Amazon not only speaks of leadership principles but applies them daily, and that helps you excel.
Cons: Each team/business in Amazon is a company (start-up) in itself. It is fast-paced and always growing. There are days where you need to figure out your own tasks. There is no direction, and you do not get responses on time. To get one answer related to a specific business, you need to juggle a lot across different resources (if you are lucky, your first guess would lead you to the answer).
