Anyone else find this reading a bit over dramatic. I don't find any horror here though I agree its not the best candidate experience and that is sad. However, horror story is just being dramatic because OP is salty he didn't get hired when he feels he is of the calibre to be hired at Amazon. Recruiters are non-tech and Google and Facebook have had timezone problems during my recruiting and this was only in US timezone so I imagine international this is even more horrendous.
