I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Singapur) in Jan 2021
Interview
Before even interviewing, HR pressured me to disclose my current salary. I gave them a range I was expecting, and they agreed the offer would definitely be within this band and not to waste each other's time.
Later, after 8 tiring rounds of interviews, HR threatened again they would not make an offer until I disclosed my actual salary. I had to show them a local government regulation page stating this is no longer allowed.
Then when the offer came, it was still 20% below the floor of my expected range, and definitely below my current salary. The recruiter also said I had 48 hours to accept the offer, otherwise it would lapse. This was so ridiculous and unpleasant I rejected the offer without negotiating further.
Overall very unpleasant experience with the recruiting team. I would advise future candidates to request for 40-50% higher than whatever your target is from the start.

Question 1
Have you ever faced a communication problem while managing a program? Who with and how did you resolve it?
The process took a very long time and after 4 rounds of interviwes I got only an auto rejection email. The company check only the Leadership principles, and it looks like they don't have an interest in smth else. Anyway people were nice, the case study was interesting as well.

Did a test task and was called by HR almost immediately for the next round. But salary range (full packet with stock and benefits) and return to office policy did nit much my expectations
very standard. the interviewers had a set of questions to ask about the LPs so we can anticipate beforehand. But I think I got ghosted in the end. One of the interviewers told me about the 2 & 5 rule but its been more than 2 weeks since my last interview and still no response from anyone so idk what happened.
