The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Las Vegas, NV) in Jan 2012
Interview
Contacted by a recruiter after applying online through Amazon. Recruiter was very friendly and asked questions regarding my experience. Just CV review in my opinion. He set up a phone interview with the hiring manager for later in the week. The operations manager asked me a line of pretty standard screening questions. It was very 2-way in nature, conversational. I was impressed. It was left that the recruiter would be getting back to me, either way. I was called by the recruiter the next day saying that i would be conducting face to face interviews the following week.
I showed up to the fulfillment center and was directed to a conference room. in the room was another candidate. we chatted for a bit and then we were asked to complete a math flow problem regarding staffing requirements with a few constraints. not too challenging. but i struggled to see the connection of that problem to my role as a training manger.
2 panel interviews; one with the ops manager and hr and the other was with the plant manager and, via conference call, a network training manager. the ops/hr consisted of them reading questions from a 3 ring binder. very "test" like behavioral question with very little response/followup. complete opposite of the phone screen. I come from a very different industry (bio/pharma) and i we use the same terms for very different meanings. I feel that i didn't communicate a few things to their requirements due to the serious nature of certain words; i.e. "audit". the plant manager/training was reserved for discussing your math flow question and some ethical scenarios. about 15 minutes was left for standard behavioral questions.
Everyone was very professional and friendly. It was a little weird being put in a room with your competition for about 10 minutes prior to the start of the interviews.
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Stockton, CA)
Interview
Was invited to take a test. With zero feedback on the results. It is interesting how these companies want your knowledge, how to use AI, then tell you not to use AI. My qualifications meant nothing. I have an MBA and nearly a DBA
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Amazon in May 2024
Interview
El proceso de entrevista fue ágil. Lo he hecho dos veces para puestos similares y es muy sencillo llegar con los líderes de los equipos. La primera vez pensé que tal vez no había conectado con la líder, en menos de 10 minutos estaba terminando la entrevista y siempre estuvo viendo su monitor. Me avisó, pero no lo hace más amable. La segunda vez fue un poco más largo pero lo mismo. Su enfoque está centrado completamente en los procesos y sus principios de liderazgo son una campaña de marketing más.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Amazon
Interview
Sehr angenehm und fair. Keine überflüssigen Fragen nach Stärken oder Schwächen. Auf den Punkt und sehr empathisch. Das Amazon Recruitment bereitet einen auch auf das Gespräch vor indem es Hinweise und Hilfestellung gibt.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Die Fragen beziehen sich auf eigene Erfahrung und Selbstreflexion. Man sollte sich mit den Leadership Principles von Amazon auseinandersetzen und überlegen welche davon für die ausgeschriebene Stelle relevant sein könnten und sich entsprechend darauf vorbereiten.
