      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (New York, NY) in Apr 2014

      Interview

      Had 2 phone interviews.. one was super technical. Way too deep for the level of work required for the job, but I got thru that. The in-person interview was with 6 folks ranging from sales, to partner mgr to finance etc. Except for one person who asked me technical quesitons and design the others were mostly behavioral asking me to explain scenarios and examples of certain situations. It was non stop and I was there for 5 straight hours with no breaks. Did not have time to ask questions in detail to certain folks I wanted to. Never met or heard from HR when I was onsite. They did not even bother to make an attempt to meet me then.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Explain a situation when you had to work across different groups that had conflicts to get something done?
      Answer question
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied through other source. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Amazon (Waterford, MI) in May 2020

      Interview

      90 minute technical phone interview. The questions were very basic data storage question. This is the third time Amazon has blindly sent me an interview request , I spend 90 minutes on the phone answering very basic questions. The interviewer tells you he is not allowed to share any feedback. One or two days later I’ll get an email stating thanks for your time we are not moving forward with you in the interview process. My favorite part is when the interviewer tells me “as you know Amazon is a Data Driven company so if you hear the keyboard I’m just capturing key points of our conversation”. Ok Mr interviewer capture away or maybe investigate why your current system is unaware or inaccurate?
