... or do what most sane people do and just ignore the messages. I also had rather bad experience interviewing for Amazon few years back. I was invited for a whole day of interviews. I already had 12 years of experience in the field, designing complicated stuff and I like to think that I am rather good at what I am doing at it is rather hard to surprise me. There was of course screening checks but Amazon representative declined to answer any of my questions about the job I would be doing so the it was rather one-sided. It is important for me to be able to get to know at least initial expectations from my new employer. I get a lot of invitations and I also must be able to screen offers that don't offer any chance to be interesting to me. The whole day interview was quite costly to me, I had to take entire day off (as a contractor it means no pay) and drive 4 hours to Amazon site (and then 4 hours back). I would normally decline continuing with the process given the unwillingness of the company to provide any details of the offered position and the costs that I was expecting. I only relented because it was Amazon. I have quite a lot of experience interviewing. I went through a lot of interviews on both sides of the table and I was also experienced interviewing successfully for large companies with very selective processes. I have very good record of being able to predict the results of any interview meaning I can tell pretty well if I will or will not get offer. All the interviews on that day at Amazon went very well except for one. On all but one interviews I was able to solve and confirm correctness of all problems posed to me without much help and I was able to answer almost every technical questions. The 2 or 3 questions I couldn't answer I just answered politely that I did not have experience and since I am not sure I would rather not answer that accidentally give an incorrect answer. The one interview that didn't go very well, I was interviewed by a guy who posed a design problem to me. I was supposed to design a system for a parking lot. That was literally the description of the problem ("Design a system for a parking lot.") I was given no directions (what kind of parking lot? requirements? what kind of aspect of the system I am looking at? what kind of system?). All my questions about what I am doing were responded with that it is my job to figure out and no answer. I tried to pose as an analyst trying to figure the requirements but this too was meant with a refusal to answer. Nevertheless, I put some assumptions and proposed 2 different solutions (one high tech with cameras, one low tech with tickets). Both solutions were refused with explanation that that's not what he wanted to hear. It is not surprising I was declined day later and of course, no feedback. Since then I got contacted at least 5 times by different Amazon representatives but I declined after representatives refused to answer my questions and stated I would have to, again, go through entire process to learn anything.
