I applied online. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Jul 2017
Interview
I applied on the site for another position, but a team recruiter contacted me the next day and offered an interview for a Vendor Manager position. In a week I had a phone screening with a hiring manager, and that interview was awkward - mostly me talking all the time with only a few questions from her side. Overall it took like than 25 min. She told me I would hear from them soon. A week later, no reply from the team, but I found a rejection status on the job site.
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Jun 2017
Interview
The interview process was fairly straightforward. A HR phone screening, a call with a hiring manager, a call with someone who may work indirectly with you, and then an in person interview. The in person interview was challenging as it was all day and all situational questions. They only use the STAR method and base their decisions on how you answer their questions. There is no chance really to describe your day to day work, your accomplishments, or to really let your personality shine. Somewhat robotic interview, which was daunting.
The biggest challenge is once rejected you get ZERO feedback and cannot apply for other jobs for 6 months. They sell you on three options; "you're a fit for the company," "you're a fit for the company and the role," "you're not a fit at all, good luck." It's unfortunate especially when a company this size is trying to hire every Tom, Rick, or Harry that walks in the door aka 100k people before the end of 2017.
