I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Sídney)
Interview
There are 2 companies that have an excessive and ridiculous interview process and they are Amazon and Apple. Be expected to jump through hoops, be extensively tested and grilled by interviewers and spend days out of your life to try and get a job at Amazon!! I mean seriously!
- Phone screening with HR.
- An online test - with example scenario with work emails and task to manage.
- Multiple rounds (6) of interviews with multiple people in different teams over 2 days all taking 1 hour each. Be prepared to take days off work (I think normally the used to expect you to go into their office for a full day for this!). Also be aware that from 2025 you will have to go into the office 5 days a week! Absolute time wasters with no respect for other people's time or current jobs.

Question 1
Lots of scenario questions where you need to give examples - that match Amazon qualities and skills required for the job. Really intense grilling.
