In what sense did you mess up?

I still believe It's wrong to conduct so many Interviews. A couple yes, 4-5 Is a bit much. You can tell by the first or second Interview whether an applicant Is suited to the job.

They have a no feedback policy, so I don't know for certain, but my guess is the completely atrocious 'just make it work you dont have time to make it good' code I wrote.

I'm a firm believer that everything happens for a reason. Something bigger and better will come your way.

First Impressions are usually an Indicator of things to come. If they're like that during the Interview process, I couldn't Image what they'd be like to work for.

Wow that's crazy, you'd think that Amazon reps would appear to be more qualified with a hiring process that intense... Glad you're on your way back on track man!

There's a huge difference between customer service and software engineering.

I assumed their hiring process was rigorous in general based off your post. I've found companies I work for hold similar standards at least when hiring. My apologies for assuming, didn't intend to compare the jobs. Sucks you didn't get it btw, good luck next time.

Well, I'm happy for you! I hate that this happened to you, and I hope things get better. It also really sucks that you wasted so much time on Amazon.
Best of luck!

Nothing is a waste of time. I learned a lot about amazon and where my shortcomings were from that process.
