I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Londres, Inglaterra)
Interview
Step 1: Screening interview with recruiter followed by a numerical reasoning test.
Step 2: Interview with Hiring manager
Step 3: Panel interviews (up to six 45-60min interviews)
Overall the process was good, although a little long. The Panel/loop interviews are intense, but all interviewers were friendly, interested in my story and did their best to make me comfortable. The questions are behavioural based, but also very conversational. The deep diving and probing everyone warned me about is really just an opportunity to showcase your reasoning and ability to reflect on past performance and delivery.
Only downside is that it's possible you're interviewing for a role that's already being offered to someone else. Internal and external recruitment happens simultaneously and that's tough as a candidate if you've invested a lot of time and energy in preparation.
Tip: focus more on having interesting stories/examples (using STAR) of your previous and current experience rather than worrying about the specific questions they will ask.
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.
