I interviewed for Amazon Brazil once, it felt like I was being questioned by the police as if in a movie:
- 4 straight hours inside a room
- every hour the interviewer changed
- got asked the same questions over and over again
I was quite upset that I didn't pass... couple weeks later I was not, what a shitty experience it was.
- ClumsyPilot 5y ago"- 4 straight hours inside a room - every hour the interviewer changed - got asked the same questions over and over again" It's the same in UK, at least they standardised it!
- humanlion87 5y agoIt's the same in North America as well. If you get scheduled during lunch time, you will get the opportunity to go outside at least :) All that is moot now because of covid.
- spacedcowboy 5y agoIt's the same in the US too. My last (internal transfer) job interview at Apple was 8 hours long, 8 interviews.
- matthewfcarlson 5y agoI think I might have you beat with 9 hours, but that was an external interview
- jdavis703 5y agoThis sounds like a fairly normal interview process. How do tech interviews typically work in Brazil?
- rzanella 5y agoI don't think it's a "Brazil" thing, I've been in Europe for a while now, I only mentioned where it was because maybe it's different between (Amazon) branches. The current job I'm at was like 5-6h of interviews, it was hard to pass, but it didn't feel like the interviewers were trying to play "good cop, bad cop"
- mypalmike 5y agoApart from getting asked the same questions, the other parts are quite common in the industry. I mean, some places might move you around a bit between rooms, but literally every job interview I've had over the last 25 years has been essentially 4-6 hours of tag team wrestling with coding/systems/personality questions.
