Ho presentato la mia candidatura tramite segnalazione di un dipendente. La procedura ha richiesto 4 settimane. Ho sostenuto un colloquio presso Amazon (Madrid) nel mese di gen 2013
Colloquio
Interview is focused on capabilities, not on knowledge. The whole process orbits around leadership principles. Once passed all the preliminary filters (phone screen, Kenexa test, CV screening), you face a six-interviews-in-a-row where all interviewers will have to be incline to extend an offer to you. Only then, based on the level you are eligible to access, will start negotiating about compensation.

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 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.
