Ho presentato la mia candidatura online. La procedura ha richiesto 2 settimane. Ho sostenuto un colloquio presso Amazon nel mese di gen 2017
Colloquio
Telephone interview followed by another telephone interview.
Fist interview was pretty straightforward but I struggle with second one because of the interviewers very strong accent. I kept having to ask him to repeat himself as I simply couldn't understand him. It also sounded like he was in a cathedral because it was very echoey (is that a real word?) I suspect I was on speakerphone and there may have been more than one person in the room, but he didn't advise me of that.
Based on the questions and the difficulty in some f the answers I thought I had bombed it, so was surprised to get through to stage 3 - which I cannot talk about because I signed a non disclosure agreement.
I was eventually offered a position but it was night shift only for 12 months and there was no flexibility. Shifts were 11.5hours, Wed to Sat an they have this crazy system of calculating leave by the hour. This meant that if I worked 8 hours/day Mon-Fri I would get 33 days a year, but by working more hours in 4 days I only got 26.5 days a year.
I made my mind up at the FC visit that this wasn't for me and withdrew my application. If I had had taken a job at Amazon I suspect I would have burnt myself out in less than a year and I would not have seen my family for most of that time. The work/life balance just wasn't there for me.

Prior to even speaking to anyone about a possible interview there was a long and lengthy testing required. Really disappointing to finish with no feedback or additional details. I only received an email post test.

Extremely unprofessional in my opinion. Talked to 3 different people, all of whom were wearing old sweatshirts and not looking at the camera. As I was sitting on zoom in a suit jacket, did not feel at all a place I would be valued at.

Domanda 1
Conflict between coworkers, how would you approach resolving?
All virtual. STAR interview questions (situation task action result). Think of examples of tough situations you had to deal with. I think I had 2 or 3 interviews before I got an offer. Pretty smooth process overall.
