I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Amazon (London, England) in Aug 2015
Interview
Numerical test, They will send this through and you have a week or so to do it. I found this test harder than other numerical tests I have previously done. I did pass though
Phone interview with Senior Ops manager. Very casual and good to hear from some one doing the job you are applying for.
Very strict on Target setting and performance monitoring
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
How do you monitor targets in your current role. Answer lots and lots because they don't want the truth that you only set 1 or 2 targets even though your current organisation isn't set up for lots of targets
Tell me about a time you had to stand up in front of your whole work force to give bad news
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Bengaluru)
Interview
For manager and above, once the recruitment team identifies a candidate, they are scheduled for interviews. Apart from a phone round, folks will typically go through 4-6 rounds of additional interview. It will help if candidates are able to structure their responses in SBI format bringing out strengths that align with Amazon leadership principles.
