I applied online. I interviewed at Amazon (Luxemburgo) in Jan 2018
Interview
An assistant sent an email asking for availability and arranged a call for one week later. The call itself was unusually dry and robotic. It's never pleasant when you can actually feel the recruiter reading from a piece of paper as she's talking to you. The "thank you very much for that answer" following every 4-5 minute monologue by me was also very impersonal.
I know this was just a phone screening and more in depth interviews with people who actually know things about my field would be next, but for someone who works in recruitment for such a visible and popular company - it seems like the recruiter could have shown a bit more of an interest. Maybe the recruiter had already picked a candidate (not me) and just needed extra screenings to follow a process.. but if not - this the phone screening felt like.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Started out with a general "Tell me why you are seeking a change in employment?"
Then "Tell me about a time when you faced resistance in implementing change?" .. then about three generic follow up questions on that.
"Tell me about a time you had a problematic customer interaction?"... then a few generic follow up questions on that.
Thanks very much, we'll be in touch in the coming days..
I applied through other source. I interviewed at Amazon
Interview
Process is very bad , they repeatedly ask the same questions in 4 rounds , they dont give credit for your answers , after 4 hours of talk , they dont even provide a quick feedback , they take close to 2 weeks to say you are rejected
The persons interviewing does not seem to have any knowledge on the subject being interviewed and also they dont look at your resume and keep asking scenario questions where there are multiple answers but they expect answers in their mind . Dont ever interview with the Chennai Kindle team ,they are the worst and they seem to have some one in mind and just calling candidates and spending time . I am sure this team will go down given the type of people I met

Question 1
Nothing significant ,all some scenario questions and your answers will be construed irrelevant
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Atlanta, GA) in Oct 2017
Interview
I applied online for the position was turned down. Then I reapplied a couple months later and was contacted by an Amazon recruiter. I took part in 3-4 phone screenings, traveled for an on-site interview, and then had one more phone screen. I also submitted a writing sample that involved some work. I admire Amazon but the process left me cold to the point I wasn't that disappointed that I didn't get an offer.. I've never interviewed anywhere for a management position that lacked balance. They were auditioning me and shared very little about the position. I still don't know much about the position or the goals. After several phone screens I took two days off from my current job to visit Amazon at the site I would be working at. I spoke to the receptionist. Then I was led to a conference room and parked by myself there with a laptop and an phone. . I spoke to one live person on site for 45 minutes and 4 others via skype and conference call and then shown the door 5 hours later. They literally ordered my a sub sandwich and dropped it off so I could eat by myself for lunch. No tour of the building. No introductions to the team... No meal with my potential boss since I wasn't flying until the following morning. I was trying to be positive and tell myself there was a method to this that I maybe didn't appreciate but flying me down for 2 days for 45 minutes of face time was really disrespectful of my time. and I don't know of a way to spin that. Joining the US Marine Corps was more interactive and respectful..
