Ho presentato la mia candidatura tramite segnalazione di un dipendente. La procedura ha richiesto più di una settimana. Ho sostenuto un colloquio presso Amazon (Sydney) nel mese di feb 2021
Colloquio
2x Phone interviews then 5x 1 hour on-site interviews.
Turnaround from phone interview to booking onsite interviews was 48hrs and from on-site to offer 1 week.
Interview questions were behavioural questions based on leadership principles. Preparation required was to think of examples where the leadership principle was demonstrated and some data to convey the impact and scope I had in my previous role.

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.

* Initial discussion about experience, role scope, and expectations
* Basic behavioral and background questions
2. Hiring Manager Interview

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.
