Ho presentato la mia candidatura online. La procedura ha richiesto 4 settimane. Ho sostenuto un colloquio presso Amazon (Seattle, WA) nel mese di ott 2024
Colloquio
I interviewed for a Marketing Manager position at Amazon. The process began with a call from the hiring manager, followed by a second conversation with a cross-functional team member I would be working closely with in that role. After that, I was invited to the loop interview.
You can choose to complete all loop interviews in one day or split them over two days. There are typically five interviewers, including a Bar Raiser, and each session lasts 45 minutes to an hour.
Based on advice from various forums, I prepared different stories for each interview to avoid repetition (I have 30 stories lol) and made sure each story tied directly to the job’s core responsibilities. I also backed up my examples with meaningful data and measurable impact, which I highly recommend to anyone interviewing at Amazon.
In the end, I was told that I passed the interview, but unfortunately, they couldn’t find the right team match for me. A bit of a bummer, but overall, it was a great experience and valuable practice for future opportunities!
Domande di colloquio [1]
Domanda 1
“What’s your greatest professional achievement?”
“Tell me about a time you missed a deadline and what you learned.”
“Describe a conflict you had with a team member and how you handled it.”
“Tell me about a project you led with a global or large-scale impact.”
“Share a time you went beyond your scope or capabilities.”
“Describe something you didn’t know at first but figured out successfully.”
OA, recruiter screen, HM and LOOP. probably more guidance on loop would have been better. Even after having a different example for every LP it still wasn't enough. I believe I too lacked a bit in my preparation. rather than focusing on job functions, focus on yourself and the work you have done!

everything is about LPs. I interviewed for L5 role. there were a lot of "tell me about a time" questions. Make sure to answer in STAR else you loose them. Every question has a follow up questions. keep it data backed.
average to high difficulty level of the interview. had to frame responses in the STAR format which takes decent time to master so practice ahead of time and have your responses jotted down

Colloquio
I did a prescreen assignment that simulated the work environment (incoming "DMs" and "emails" about a project that you had to follow up on). A few days after that, I heard from the recruiter and went straight to a call with one of the team members, which was pretty casual. There was a writing assignment and then prep with the recruiter, who recommended not repeating examples (fair, although for me it was hard to come up with examples beyond my stable of "gold star" interview examples).
The technical loop interviews really caught me off guard. There were sooooooo many follow-up questions to every interview question. That's not inherently bad but I feel like there's a difference between asking follow-ups out of curiosity and asking because it's part of the interview criteria.

Each interviewer asked questions related to the core principles, but unfortunately they don't tell you which 2-3 principles each interviewer is tasked with assessing. They were relatively standard interview questions about work experience, but as mentioned, there were so many follow-ups that it caught me off guard (e.g., you said you worked on a campaign, but which stakeholders did you work with, how did you communicate with them, how often did you communicate with them, etc.)
