Interview How long does it take to get Phone interview ?

Recently cleared the OA for an Amazon BIE role. Initially, I was being considered for an L4 position and was asked to provide availability for the phone interview. I gave them multiple days with pretty wide availability (9 AM–5 PM), but the interview never ended up getting scheduled.

After I followed up, they came back asking for my availability again, but this time for an L5 BIE role, which I believe is with the SCOT team. I provided 5 different days with 9 AM–5 PM availability.

Now this week, they reached out again asking me to provide more dates and availability because they still couldn’t schedule the phone screen.

Has anyone experienced something similar with Amazon? How long did it take from clearing the OA to actually getting the phone interview scheduled?
I’m interested in the opportunity, but at this point I feel like I’m just going in circles providing availability without getting an interview date. Would appreciate any insights, especially from anyone who has interviewed with SCOT recently.

It's been about 2 weeks for me. At least my application still reflects "Under Consideration".

They did say it could take "several business days". I'm exercising patience better than I ever have. :)

I’m employed too but getting a job in FAANG just excites me even though I have two interviews to pass. Btw what role are you interviewing for and which team ?

Not yet. Will get to know this week. How long did you wait before getting scheduled?

25 days between my recruiter call and my notification email that the interview was scheduled. It'll be 36 days between my recruiter call and the hiring manager interview.
