Amazon Alexa 3P Team – Onsite Hiring Drive
Recently attended an onsite hiring drive for the Alexa 3P team at Amazon. The process included an Online Assessment followed by onsite rounds. For me, only two onsite rounds were conducted. HR mentioned they would follow up with feedback and details about further rounds, but I did not receive any updates after that.
