Ho presentato la mia candidatura tramite un selezionatore. La procedura ha richiesto 4 settimane. Ho sostenuto un colloquio presso Amazon (Los Angeles, CA) nel mese di set 2016
Colloquio
Recruiter found my resume and contacted me through email. She asked if I am interested in this role. I said yes and we set a date for HR phone screen and then a phone interview. After I was selected Amazon flew me to LA for an hiring event. 4 interviews for 45 mins. I had to complete a writing assignment as well before the F2F. They came back with the final outcome within 48 hours. Very efficient process. Though I had a good interview I wasn't extended an offer. The position was Seattle based and I showed a bit of hisitance when asked about relocating from California to Seattle.

I signed an NDA. But most of them were typical behavioral & situational questions.

Colloquio
Interview process is challenging but expected as everything you need to know is available online. They will schedule you with 4 employees from the team or organization you will work with and 1 completely separated from your organization as a "bar raiser". No need to work to impress one specific person, know 12-14 differentiated STAR formatted stories by memory.

Tell me about a time you had to sacrifice short-term gain for long-term success. What did you do? What was the outcome?

Tell me about a time you created a metric to identify a need for change.
Not great. Very first interview had no proper introduction to the role and was not with HR, interviewee went straight into a case study within 5 minutes. Didn't seem interested in my actual work background.
