I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Amazon (Austin, TX) in Mar 2020
Interview
The interview process was straightforward and a generally positive experience. It was like a well-oiled machine for potential employees. First had a phone interview with a recruiter. The recruiter shared resources with me to study prior to my interview with the hiring manager.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Which leadership principle of Amazon's do you connect with most?
Brutal. No getting to know the candidate. Jumped straight into the 14 principle questions and left me with a feeling of 'why would i want to work for this company'. Just felt soul-less.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon in Nov 2022
Interview
Recruiter screen followed by an at home assignment. 5 person final round over the course of two days. I found the process to be very clear. Responses from the recruiter were quick, and they set expectations well before every part of the interview process.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Amazon in May 2022
Interview
I was contacted by Linkedin from an internal Amazon recruiter for a Partner Development position in AWS. Before proceed with the actual interview, they asked to complete an assessment. All the questions were related to Amazon retail (logistic, delivery management and optimization, etc.), and there were any question related to a sales figure/IT/account-partner management for AWS. Considering my international experience of over 20 years within enterprise environment with the top leading Vendors, I was pretty sure about my answers. Unfortunately, the day after I received an email telling I failed the assessment without any additional feedback, despite my request to get more clarifications. Considering the first statement of Amazon is customer obsession, the fact of never gave a feedback it seems very unprofessional and not aligned to company principles. A well established company as Amazon deserve definitely a better recruitment system.
