I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA)
Interview
Difficult and long interview process. It is important that you prepare mentally. I am not able to say much due to the NDA that was signed, but again I will not lie it was difficult. I urge you to practice and study the leadership principles and apply them to every aspect of the interview. There definitely is someone that will be interviewing you and their goal is to NOT hire you, so it is important that you do your best to impress them with your knowledge and how it relates to the leadership principles.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
NDA signed. Just study the leadership principles given by HR.
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Londres, Inglaterra) in May 2016
Interview
Various telephone interviews, a questionnaire and an interview loop.
Overall, the process was very disorganised and the interviewers did not seem at all apologetic about the inconvenience this caused.
I get the feeling that staff hide behind the Amazon brand and use this as an excuse to do as they wish.
After 5/6 interviews and sending numerous emails to HR/Head of Legal, the only feedback they offered me was that they decided to pick another candidate.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Q: What is the origin of your surname? Where are you from? (the recruiter/Head of Legal then proceeded to say that she tried looking it up but couldn't conclude where I was from)
