I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (New York, NY) in Oct 2021
Interview
The interview process is pretty straight forward and moves along quickly beginning with a recruiter and moving on to the hiring manager. If you've progressed you'll be handed over to another recruiter in preparation for the final volley of interviews. This is between 5 - 7 different Amazonian's asking questions pertinent to the job role within the context of the leadership principles. I was also asked to submit a writing sample
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Give me an example of a calculated risk you took that was time sensitive.
Brutal. No getting to know the candidate. Jumped straight into the 14 principle questions and left me with a feeling of 'why would i want to work for this company'. Just felt soul-less.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon in Nov 2022
Interview
Recruiter screen followed by an at home assignment. 5 person final round over the course of two days. I found the process to be very clear. Responses from the recruiter were quick, and they set expectations well before every part of the interview process.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Amazon in May 2022
Interview
I was contacted by Linkedin from an internal Amazon recruiter for a Partner Development position in AWS. Before proceed with the actual interview, they asked to complete an assessment. All the questions were related to Amazon retail (logistic, delivery management and optimization, etc.), and there were any question related to a sales figure/IT/account-partner management for AWS. Considering my international experience of over 20 years within enterprise environment with the top leading Vendors, I was pretty sure about my answers. Unfortunately, the day after I received an email telling I failed the assessment without any additional feedback, despite my request to get more clarifications. Considering the first statement of Amazon is customer obsession, the fact of never gave a feedback it seems very unprofessional and not aligned to company principles. A well established company as Amazon deserve definitely a better recruitment system.
