I applied online. The process took 4 weeks.

Disgraceful. Received an email with a link to an online assessment and demo test along with another email from an Amazon representative telling me that the test should be completed by the 14th May. Spend several evenings practicing with the demo test which was leetcode hard difficulty style DSA algo problems - mainly array manipulation with the greedy approach.

Sat down to do the test on the 13th only to suddenly get an email that my application was rejected. Emailed the HR representative to ask why, as the deadline was the 14th - only to get an out of office reply. Emailed the address given in the ooo reply - no answer. Decided to do the test anyway.

It was TOTALLY different from the demo questions - really misleading. No algo problems - instead it's two frontend problems:

• The first is form validation for a name, email, phone form along with adding a new entry to a list with search by phone number.
• The second is a product wishlist app.

I should have studied the problems on GreatFrontEnd - both of them were there. After this two hour coding exam there is a work style questionnaire where you are given a choice between two bad options over and over for example:

• Which is more like you: 1. I take deadlines seriously
• 1. I like to learn new things when I have the time etc
