The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon in Nov 2011
Interview
Process: Phone Screen --> 2nd Phone Screen --> On-site interview loop (several participants).
Questions focused around scenario/situational-based questions, product knowledge, quantitative reasoning, professional background (+s for cross-functional work, presenting/defending across and at all levels of an organizaiton) aligned to role, and personal goals. Sharp group: expect to defend your rationale and present your thinking all around a solution. Come with lots of questions relative to the team, product, group, and environment. Mix of participants can be varied, so being able to think on your feet and relate things back in appropriate detail (enough to show thoroughness, not so much as to be rambing and long-winded) will go a long way.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
How would you prove and defend your case for expanding into a new location?
Did a test task and was called by HR almost immediately for the next round. But salary range (full packet with stock and benefits) and return to office policy did nit much my expectations
very standard. the interviewers had a set of questions to ask about the LPs so we can anticipate beforehand. But I think I got ghosted in the end. One of the interviewers told me about the 2 & 5 rule but its been more than 2 weeks since my last interview and still no response from anyone so idk what happened.
Lengthy, messy schedule, interviews canceled last minute, interviewer late. Rude, disrespectful and dismissive approach toward candidate. Majority of people were from a different team so had no clue about the specifics of the position when asked in the final Q&A. If they treat you like this before joining, can’t imagine after. Application withdrawn.
