Amazon interview delay — am I being ghosted or just a backup candidate?

I need some straight answers, not sugarcoating.

I interviewed with Amazon (Job ID: 3015604). Completed my 2nd round on Jan 30, 2026.

Timeline:

- Feb 2 → Sent follow-up

- Got a response from AUTA saying feedback was shared with recruiter and to wait

- After that → complete silence

- Mar 1 → Got an automated “rate your interview experience” survey

Now it’s April… and still nothing.

No rejection. No next round. No recruiter response.

At this point, I’m trying to understand what this actually means in reality:

- Am I just a backup candidate?

- Is this a silent rejection?

- Or is Amazon just insanely slow with decisions?

I don’t want generic “be patient” advice. I want real insights from people who’ve been through this or from recruiters who know how this works internally.

Also — how long should I realistically wait before assuming it’s over and moving on completely?

Would appreciate honest answers, even if it’s harsh.
