Amazon is famous for that free labor (check interview review at glassdoor)

I had several interviews with them a few years ago and I was basically troubleshooting an issue, they were asking for my expertise on how to solve if I enjoyed X and which kind of tests I would run for validation and how to design to prevent reoccurrence and then they basically ghosted me

File a complaint with the labor board. They can investigate and if they find out they used your solution you can get paid and they can get a fine on top of that.

That was about 7 years ago. The Echo Auto had just launched and I'm guessing I was debugging that. Also I lived in Mexico at the time, I'm not sure if those laws would protect me as well
