I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Amazon (París) in Mar 2019
Interview
L'équipe RH appelle suite à une candidature sur leur site internet. Côté positif est qu'ils rappellent, côté négatif c'est qu'ils rappellent 3 mois après. Le ton était très cordial et on voit qu'ils essayaient vraiment de recruter.
I applied through college or university. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Amazon (Luxemburgo) in Jan 2023
Interview
The interview process consisted of three distinct rounds: Preliminary Survey: This was the initial stage where I filled out a detailed questionnaire. It helped in gauge my suitability for the role and understanding my perspectives. HireView Session: After a significant gap following the survey, I underwent a HireView interview. This was a comprehensive assessment of my skills and compatibility with the role. The waiting period between the survey and this session was a bit prolonged, but it gave me ample time to prepare. Panel Discussions (2 sessions): The final phase was two panel discussions where I engaged with multiple team members. They assessed my knowledge, team-fit, and problem-solving capabilities. Overall, the process was efficient and swift, with the only extended wait being between the survey and HireView session.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Describe a time when you went above and beyond to meet a customer's needs. What motivated you to do so? Give an example of a project or task that you took full ownership of. What challenges did you face, and how did you overcome them?
They picked me to interview mostly because of my startup launch experience, so this will probably not be a good example for the rest. We talked about my story, difficulties launching, and how we defined success internally.
