I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Amazon (São Paulo, ) in Jan 2019
Interview
Me aprovaram em novembro. Fiz um call com a pessoa da RH (avaliação da vaga, se condiz salário, o que você faz hoje e busca para o futuro). Uma semana depois, fiz via call uma entrevista com uma account manager. As perguntas fazem parte de um padrão, e a pessoa vai lendo e pergunto - o que você faz hoje, quais as metas, o que você busca, pq a Amazon, pq você se considera líder. Depois disso, esperei mais de um mês pelo feedback e foi reagendada 3x a entrevista. A final foi na sede da empresa, e você tem 4 entrevistas de 45 minutos cada (15 minutos de descanso entre elas). Eles são muito focados nos valores deles, e todas as perguntas vão de encontro com as frases motivacionais. Portanto, é fundamental estudar e entender cada conceito. Duas são em inglês.
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Cork) in Mar 2020
Interview
It was all done online. Had a background check and an assessment. Was very easy and quick. The assessment was scenario based questions that were related to the job and a personality test
Incredibly one sided, the interview process in a perfect situation should feel comfortable for both the applicant and to the employer but this was not the case. First stage was a screening call with a recruiter where they just inquire about your past experience. The next stage/interview you would expect to be with someone who is either on the team that you will be joining or with someone who has a plethora of experience in the field/vertical you're going into but this wasn't the case. I was interviewed by someone new to advertising field and was mostly asked behavioral question and told to strictly adhere to their "STAR" method. Although i prepared examples to match their leadership principles using the STAR method it still felt as though i was being tested on how well i could conform my behavior and line of thinking to the "amazon way' and not being assessed on the skills and applicable experience i bring to the table. If you're comfortable conforming for the sake of working for a large brand such as amazon then this shouldn't be a problem, but the process itself felt robotic and cold which leads me to believe that the experience i would have had if i received an offer would've been the same.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Tell me about a time when you had to complete a task outside of the responsibilities of your role? (need to strictly adhere to the STAR method or everything you say is irrelevant),
