Interview
Nach der Onlinebewerbung folgte das erste informelle Gespräch mit einem Hiring-Manager.
Die Terminierung für den Online-Exceltest über die englischsprachige HR-Abteilung zog sich ein paar Wochen hin. Die (fachliche) Absage erhielt ich noch während des Tests. Die HR-Abteilung hat mir wenige Tage später die förmliche Absage zugeschickt. Man sollte Excel und Englisch sicher anwenden können. Eine grobe Idee zu haben reicht nicht.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Ich musste nur die Aufgaben des Exceltests lösen (die Tabellenkalkulation und die Fragen waren in englischer Sprache).
I applied through a staffing agency. I interviewed at Amazon in Dec 2016
Interview
In person with two hiring manager and adjunct manager. Simple technical questions, one coding whiteboard exercise a couple of situational questions and that was pretty much it Asked about experiences that would be relevant to the role and whether you think you can perform up to expectations

Interview
CV Screening.
First Step: You are invited to complete some numerical tests on SHL.
Second Step: With an excel file and recording the screen, complete the tasks you are asked. Basically Dynamic Tables, VLOOK-UP and finally some SQL questions. Apart from these questions, other behavioral ones (following always the STAR and mentioning Amazon's principles). Asked which departments I was interested in.
Last step: 2x30min telephone interviews with the supposed Hiring Managers. There was no possibility at all to extend this 30min. Basically CV, behavioral questions. I was not interested in the position the first one presented me, and the second HM wasn't interested in me at all -he couldn't even describe the position-. This was the last stage.
Had an horrible selection process; not speaking with HR at any moment (just by email).
