I've been interviewing for a role within AWS and the process is frustrating. I've had two situations where the interviewer didn't show up and they rescheduled later.

I hope this isn't "business as usual" when interviewing with Amazon.

My brother has had an interview scheduled for weeks, moved many times. First he was supposed to meet with the hiring manager... then they said the hiring manager wasn't approved (they had some other term) for interviewing. Then the hiring manager changed. Then the group he would be joining changed. Then the boss of the second hiring manager in the old group called him directly and offerred a 1 year contract to hire position and asked that he not mention it to the internal recruiter (what?!). Now the hiring manager has changed again.

Ridiculous.

How many red flags does he want?

Apparently at least one more. That sweet sweet $AMZN is too tempting.

I have had the same experience in the past. 2 phone interviews that never called and the recruiter feeling sorry and claiming this is "exceptional".
