The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Jan 2012
Interview
I was contacted to do two 45 minute back to back interviews. Almost 10% of my school's MBA class was contacted and did the interviews. I was invited for on-site interviews. It was 4 interviews of 45 minutes each. The 3 consisted of situation questions. "If you were the manager of this product what would you do if this happened?" Only 1 of the interviews was conducted by a senior person in the company and had questions such:
-> Tell me which is an ideal culture for you?
-> What do you wanna do now?
-> What is the most important accomplishment?
I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Dec 2011
Interview
The HR sent me an email regarding the position and was requested to apply online again.
Then they set up a phone interview back to back on the same day for 45 mins. The response after the interview was prompt. Some one got back to me in 3-5 business days. The interviewers try to make you defend your position. I didn't like the tone of the first interviewer, thought he was a snob.
Interview questions [2]
Question 1
- You are a product, how do you market yourself?
- Was asked about a online bad experience and was asked how to remedy it
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Amazon in Oct 2011
Interview
I declined to continue the process after the first interview because the hiring manager was so abrasive and belligerent on the first interview that I knew it wasn't for me. I'm still pursuing other opportunities with Amazon and hopefully the qualities of my first interviewer aren't endemic. I think the company is great but I'd be concerned if there are many more individuals like the one I spoke with.
