I applied for an EA role in the Seattle HQ. I was contacted via email by a recruiting coordinator who then scheduled 4 separate phone interviews, spread out over several weeks with several different EA's on the team. I felt like the EA's and I had a good connection. They answered questions they way I would have and and we all seemed to be on the same page as far as how we approach our jobs and what we are looking for in a job. They must have felt the same way because I was later scheduled to come in for all day interviews. Over the course of 1 day I interviewed with a total of 12 people! First the HR EA, then every 30 minutes someone else on the team. These consisted of business managers, developers, analysts, team leaders etc. These people interviewed me the same way that you would someone looking to fill one of THEIR roles. I got the feeling that they wanted me to answer the questions and approach a problem the way that they would. Which is ridiculous. They wanted indepth specifics to things that an EA would consider common sense and not needing to be mentioned. An EA who approaches their job like a developer is NOT going to be an effective EA. Then in the afternoon I did 1:1 interviews with all of the same EAs that I had spoke with on the phone. At the end of the day I met with HR and they went over benefits etc. and told me that they would be making a decision the first part of the next week. I waited over a week and a half and finally had to contact the recruiter myself to see if I was still being considered!!! The entire day left me with a few observations: 1) There is absolutely NO purpose for business analysts and developers to be interviewing an EA. An EA should be interviewed and selected by other EAs and the person they will be supporting 2) Many of the people on the interview panel (not the EAs), were condescending 3) Several of the people were a little too "rah rah, Amazon" for me which reminded me of a cult 4) Failure to contact me with the outcome shows lack of consideration. Amazon posts new support role jobs every day. Needless to say, I am THANKFUL that I wasn't selected and I will not be applying for any of their other open positions.
