Ho presentato la mia candidatura tramite un selezionatore. La procedura ha richiesto 4 settimane. Ho sostenuto un colloquio presso Amazon (Seattle, WA) nel mese di ott 2023
Colloquio
Zero interaction with recruiter, no interview coaching. The job I interviewed for was not even one I applied for. I have a lot of experience with colleagues working at Amazon. Despite my experience, my answers did not fit into the robotic responses they are looking for. The hiring manager said at the beginning of my interview "don't worry, we aren't trying to trick you". As a former bar raiser told me, they absolutely are trying to trick you. My advice would be to stick to the script, do not deviate.

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.
