Waiting for Amazon interview result

from the self-post dept.

I've just done an on-site interviewing with Amazon last Friday for its hiring event.

The recruiter says it would takes 2-3 business days for the result. It's 5 days now.

Any idea how long does that take to get the result? Anyone in the same boat as me?

One of Amazon's corporate tenets is to take initiative. If you haven't heard anything after trying to get in touch with the recruiter, contact someone else you know on the inside.

I was in the same boat earlier this summer, it took them about a month to get back to me.

how long did they told you it would take? Is that an offer?

They told me it would take a week, and no offer. I looked elsewhere in the meantime.

is that a hiring event where a lot of people come at once for the interview? Did you have to go through the phone interview?

No, I was the only one there for an interview. I had two phone interviews before coming in for an in person interview.
