Will Amazon get back to you?
50% of applications got no reply, 43% were rejected and 7% led to an interview, above the typical rate.
- No reply 50%
- Rejected 43%

395 applications from 60 RoleStack users.
If you hear back
- First interview round
- about day 6
- Reach a second round
- 24% of them
- Time between rounds
- about 6 days
- If it's a no
- about 13 days
Rounds from 29 applications with an interview; the wait for a no from 167 rejections.
These numbers come from applications RoleStack sent for its users, not from every job seeker. “Never heard back” means we saw no answer at all; a rejection counts as an answer. Applications sent in the last 45 days are left out because they may still get a reply, and no one user counts more than five times.
