I applied online. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon in Mar 2017
Interview
2 initial phone interviews - with a potential colleague and then the hiring manager. If you get through these there is anon-site day involving 5 interviews, but I didn't get that far. The interviews were mechanical - both people just asked stock questions from the range that others have reported in Glassdoor. The manager made no attempt to get to know me or establish rapport - gave me a bad feeling about the potential future relationship. Tbh it felt a bit like an interview to join the Stepford Wives. There seems to be little room for outliers in the organisation and I was actually relieved to not be asked to the final selection day.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Talk about:
1. A time when you disagreed with your manager
2. A time when you solved a problem, how you did it, what you learned
7 to 8 rounds in total including interview loop including a bar raise for L5+ levels and above. Took about 2 weeks to conclude and hear back from the recruiter.
great overall, no issues, clear questions. HR was very kind and respectful. Prepare yourself well for the cliche questions in order to ensure everything goes smoothly. Good luck . . .
The interview process was surprisingly easy to navigate, from the initial contact to the final interview, everything was well-organized and efficient. The communication was clear and timely, making the whole experience quick and stress-free. I appreciated how straightforward the process was, allowing me to focus on demonstrating my skills and experience.
