Ho presentato la mia candidatura online. La procedura ha richiesto 2 settimane. Ho sostenuto un colloquio presso Amazon (Seattle, WA) nel mese di ott 2016
Colloquio
I had an initial phone screen with the recruiter where we discussed the role, associated expectations, and the managers long vision for the team (I was the second person hired to the team). We then had anSQL interview session, followed by questions about my projects. I interviewed for an L4 BA Role, with almost 1 year of work experience. On site I had a series of 5 interviews, each about 50 minutes. I answered questions on case studies, visualizations, and described situations where I displayed the leadership principles in my previous roles/projects.

Domanda 1
What sorts of assumptions would you make in answering question X when you don't have all the necessary data?
The interview process includes a SQL test, an initial recruiter call, and a final five-round loop featuring technical questions and discussions focused on Amazon leadership principles with different team members.

They asked a key question focused on both technical depth and culture fit: how you apply your skills to solve real problems, along with examples demonstrating alignment with Amazon’s leadership principles.

Colloquio
Interviewed for Business Analyst role at Amazon and honestly the process felt exhausting and impersonal.
The interviewers seemed far more focused on checking boxes against the 14 Leadership Principles than actually understanding the candidate or having a genuine conversation. Almost every question was another version of a STAR behavioral scenario, even when it barely related to the actual role.
The process felt extremely rehearsed and rigid. There was little effort to make the candidate feel comfortable or valued, and it often felt like they had already decided the outcome before the interview even started.
Technical and analytical depth barely mattered compared to how perfectly you could package stories into Amazon’s preferred format. If you don’t have polished STAR stories memorized for every possible situation, the process can feel unnecessarily difficult and draining.
Overall, one of the most mentally exhausting interview experiences I’ve had.

The basic STAR format, but the team was not clear about what they were looking for. The recruiter was not very responsive and took a long time to schedule the calls
