I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Oct 2012
Interview
Very disorganized. HR coordinator did great setting up the interviews but no intinerary was provided. Constant stream of people who didn't introduce themselves or explain their role, it took a lot of probing. Questions were skill-related from some and personality fit/ team-work related from others. Nothing too surprising or difficult. Poor follow-up from HR.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
None really, although interviewer seemed surprised to learn how small Amazon really was in the industry.
phone interview with the hiring manager for 30mins. They said if I pass the phone interview I will be invited to their Seattle campus for in-person for a day. Tips: prepare 2-3 solid examples of each principle.
4-5 Amazon leadership principles questions. One of them give a time you are able to minimize cost and save money for your company. This is about frugality.
I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Amazon
Interview
Long , telephone screen plus 4 x 45 min interviews. Panels are intense, lots of probing questions and they want specific examples to support your answrs.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA)
Interview
Multiple phone screens and full day in house interview, unfortunately the phone screens that were scheduled were never on time. One time, I waited 30 minutes and ended up having to reschedule. It leaves a bad taste in your mouth when the people you are going to be working with and for can't even call a candidate on time.
