I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Jun 2008
Interview
I received a call from a recruiter who got my resume from an online job portal. There were 2 rounds of phone interviews which were fairly basic. The in person interview was conducted in the head office lasting almost the whole day with 6 different persons. Each interview was roughly 45 mins long. The questions ranged from technical to business. Each of the interviewer had a specific area to test, like technical, analytical, business, customer focus etc.
Interview questions [2]
Question 1
How will you go about designing a library database?
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 Application withdrawn.
