Ho presentato la mia candidatura tramite segnalazione di un dipendente. Ho sostenuto un colloquio presso Amazon (Londra, Inghilterra) nel mese di set 2017
Colloquio
First stage of the application process was a Kenexa mathematical reasoning test, after which I was invited for two telephone interviews. Both interviews are competency based, keep in mind the Amazon Principles. Once you answer a question, they will ask 2-3 follow-up questions and dig deep into what you learned from that situation, or what happened afterwards, how other people reacted etc. so be prepared to know the situation in detail. The interviewers were both very friendly. I thought I did well, but they said at this stage their policy is to not offer any feedback, which is understandable given that they probably have a very large volume of applications. In hindsight my advice would be to practice your answer over and over and even think of any questions that could be asked about your answers that may catch you off-guard. I wouldn't say the interview is very difficult, but I would definitely recommend really thorough preparation.

Tell me about a time you over promised to a customer even if you knew you could not deliver?
Tell me about a time you were given feedback on a critical task.
Screening call with recruiter, followed by 3 back-to-back interview loops. Interviews focused primarily on behavioral questions tied to Amazon Leadership Principles, along with an Excel assessment testing analytical and data manipulation skills.

1. Recruiter Screening
* Initial discussion about experience, role scope, and expectations
* Basic behavioral and background questions
2. Hiring Manager Interview
* Focus on past experience, business impact, and ownership
* Mix of behavioral and situational questions
3. Interview Loop (3–5 interviews)

Useless leadership principles framed in behavioral question. Tell me about a time when
Ho sostenuto un colloquio presso Amazon (Toronto, ON)
Colloquio
You start with an online assessment, which is relatively easy. Then a recruiter reaches out to you if you pass and will ask standard hiring questions. After which, you will then have a phone screen interview and if you pass, you do an interview loop with 5 people. Which is insane for a role that does not pay 100K annually. They also make you go prepare 12-20 STAR stories that you should pretty much memorize.
