Interview
CV Screening.
First Step: You are invited to complete some numerical tests on SHL.
Second Step: With an excel file and recording the screen, complete the tasks you are asked. Basically Dynamic Tables, VLOOK-UP and finally some SQL questions. Apart from these questions, other behavioral ones (following always the STAR and mentioning Amazon's principles). Asked which departments I was interested in.
Last step: 2x30min telephone interviews with the supposed Hiring Managers. There was no possibility at all to extend this 30min. Basically CV, behavioral questions. I was not interested in the position the first one presented me, and the second HM wasn't interested in me at all -he couldn't even describe the position-. This was the last stage.
Had an horrible selection process; not speaking with HR at any moment (just by email).
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Feb 2017
Interview
I was contacted by HR via email and asked few questions like my visa status, salary expectations and also had question about the best project I worked.
After sending all the information, another recuriter set up a phone screen interview (45 mins) with hiring manager. HM asked about lot of questions like tell me the time when you did report automation, tell me the time when you were frustrated by client etc
After 3 days I got email from HR saying I am invited for an on-site interview to Seattle. I interviewed with 6 people, who asked almost similar questions including some asked SQL and basic statistics questions.
