Ho presentato la mia candidatura online. La procedura ha richiesto più di una settimana. Ho sostenuto un colloquio presso Amazon (Seattle, WA) nel mese di feb 2015
Colloquio
Two recruiter calls. Typical stuff, very nice lady. I could not get the most basic comp plan or OTE information out of her. She just kept saying "you will be very pleased with the salary and signing bonus." I thought this was odd because recruiters usually want to know if both parties are within the right earnings range before proceeding.
She then gave me a "homework assignment" and I almost fell out of my chair. I have +20 years in enterprise SaaS sales... but I figured I would play along to try and learn something.
She gave me a full page case-study outline asking me to find and locate a local enterprise that was not currently selling product through amazon and to write up a target account analysis and sales plan. I estimated this at easily be 4-8 hours of work for the "chance" to get a job where the salary is unknown.
Of course I backed out not wanting to do target account analysis work for free. I did however, offer to invoice them at $250 per hour if I did not get the job. She did not think that was funny. (i did)
I got contacted by a recruiter and then one interview with the hiring manager! That was really it because they were rushing to place someone, super quick and took about 2 weeks total.

I only got through to the first stage, where my experience didn't quite match what they were looking for. The next stage was a meeting with someone from their Sales department, and then there is a take-home task, followed by review and further interviews with more senior staff.
