      Account Executive Interview

      25 Sept 2019
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Seattle, WA
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Aug 2019

      Interview

      I'm still in the process of interviewing...I think I am anyway. Who knows because the recruiter has "Ghosted" me. My initial phone interview went well from what I could tell and was told that I'd hear back in the next 24-48 hours regarding next steps. That was about 3 weeks ago and 5 unanswered follow up emails to the contact Amazon provided me. I was urged to study up on Amazons 5 Principles for my interview, but it would be more fun to ponder how many of those "Principles" have been broken during my interview process. After-all, as a candidate applying for a job I am technically their customer. There are many candidates like myself who are currently unemployed and getting that interview with Amazon was a big deal to us. We spent a lot of time preparing and reviewing Principles only to find ourselves getting "Ghosted" by the company who lives to serve their clients. I guess their busy with all the job orders needing to be filled and I'm just an unfortunate exception that fell through the cracks. The problem is when you're unemployed the crack you fall through feels like the Grand Canyon. I guess it's possible to ship an order across the country in one night, but getting a status on your application is a bit out of reach at Amazon. My apologies for the venting, but I've been taking this type of treatment for over a year from recruiters and companies. Playing the game and keeping a stiff upper chin has it limits. I'd delete this post if it was all accurate and true so do with it what you like. Have a great day!

      The Interview process is exactly what people describe - its rigorous and you must be prepared with atleast 2 work examples per leadership principle. Ensure you do not repeat answers and use the CAR or STAR format.

      Interview

      I got contacted by a recruiter and then one interview with the hiring manager! That was really it because they were rushing to place someone, super quick and took about 2 weeks total.

      Average interview

      Application

      I interviewed at Amazon (London, England)

      Interview

      I only got through to the first stage, where my experience didn't quite match what they were looking for. The next stage was a meeting with someone from their Sales department, and then there is a take-home task, followed by review and further interviews with more senior staff.
