I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Jul 2018
Interview
The process was pretty structured with some 2-3 days gaps in between the phases: phone interview with recruiter, 2 phone interviews with hiring manager and his peer, on-site interview in Seattle with 5 people.
Overall pretty good experience. Make sure you apply for the right position based on your experience. For example, if you have 10-15 years in finance and also you were managing the team for at least 3+ years out of those 10-15, you will need to apply for Senior Finance Manager at a minimum, not Finance manager role, otherwise you will feel like you're downgrading yourself in your career.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
A lot of questions on Amazon principles, some of them were worded differently but were repeating... for example...the most common question was " Tell me about the situation when you had to solve some difficult task and were under strict deadline" or " Tell me about the situation when you received a negative feedback" etc. Behavioral questions.
Moves very fast and the recruiter/panel is quick to respond. No new questions, everything from LPs. They also want to know about an AI project and a few financial models you built
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Amazon (São Paulo, )
Interview
Cinco etapas de entrevista. Precisa reservar tempo pra assistir explicação sobre o processo de entrevistas. Impessoal, pouca informacao sobre a vaga e baseado em tecnicas de comunicação. Usam sistema próprio que não funciona direito (mencionado pelo rh que costuma apresentar alguns problemas) e recrutador de mal humor.
Applied online
Recieved an online assessment which included video responses
Recruiter screening
1st round interview with either the hiring manager or member of the team
Recruiter will let you know if you passed that round in a week
Last round was a loop interview of 6 individuals consisting of members of the team, hiring manager, business partners, and bar raisers
