Candidate-reported interview process

Interviewed for a Sr. PM technical External Services role at AWS. It was an internship role with back-to-back interviews, each lasting 30-45 minutes, with two different interviewers. The first round was a Product Sense round with a Principal PM, and the second was a Behavioural round using the STAR method with a Sr. PM.

First a screening and then you get an invitation to an assessment test that takes around 1.5-2 hours. Then an interview with the recruiting manager and after that an interview with their manager.

My audio had some connection issues, but they wanted to push forward with the interview anyway. After that, I was rejected without any explanation. It felt like something was off.
