I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Amazon (Chicago, IL) in Feb 2025
Interview
Tedious and long. Phone screen first, if you make past that expect 2 months of interview loops involving several different parties, a written essay and strategy questions involving Amazons work style.
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Cape Town) in Jan 2018
Interview
Well organised even, after contact with the talent pool team, i was guided to the actual interview to which i was prepared, but perhaps the opportunity wasnt for me at the time
I applied online. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon
Interview
A 3 stage interview, one with HR, one with a hiring manager and then a panel. The HR interview was background on experience, followed by role requirements, followed by behavioural questions to link to leadership principles. The second interview was with a hiring manager and was again experience and behavioural questions, but this time not aligned to the leadership principles. Both interviews went well, but I did not proceed beyond the second stage. They do not provide any feedback which is frustrating and it is a very long process, taking weeks to hear back on if your application is being progressed.
