Question 1
Tell me about a time when you leveraged the customer experience data to make business decisions
The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon in May 2024
Interview
I had the first interview with the hiring manager. The role required Python knowledge, so he asked questions to evaluate my technical skills. These were not technical questions but related to the kinds of projects I've previously worked on with Python and other programming languages that showcased transferable skills.
He then asked one question related to Amazon Leadership Principles, followed by many detailed follow-up questions. Be prepared to answer any kind of question related to your initial answer, even things that might seem irrelevant to the role you applied for.
After the interview, I received an email the same day indicating I moved to the panel stage. This would consist of four 60-minute interviews with various business leaders in a similar format to the hiring manager interview. After providing my availability and receiving confirmation for the scheduling, I received an automated email a few days before the panel indicating that I was no longer under consideration for the role.
I tried to reach out to the recruiters for a proper explanation but received no response. Although it is better to know that I was no longer considered before the time and energy-consuming panel stage, I found it disappointing not to be informed personally by one of the many people involved in the hiring process.
