Interview
For an online interview:
You are using Amazon Chime, which is like its Skype or Zoom. Make sure you test your microphone and camera in advance. You will be given meeting numbers for EACH part of the interview that Amazon Chime will ask for once you open the app. 1st, there is a 15 min debrief with recruiter & other candidates (you may introduce yourselves). Then, there are 2 consecutive 30-45 min interviews with senior level employees.
Behavior-based questions & a situation-based (for role) question. They will also debrief on the role and who they are. School or work experiences are ok. Try to give examples that embody Amazon's 14 leadership principles. Remember the STAR method (Situation, Task, Action, Result) for your examples.

Interview
The selection process for interviewing started with being initially contacted by a recruiter through my university's career site. I then submitted the application and heard back within a week. At this point I was then sent an initial pre-screen exam of fulfillment technical questions and behaviorial based q's. A few days later I was invited to do a virtual interview with 2 managers at different locations.
The interview went well, still waiting on the result as the recruiters stated that they need 5 business days to come back with an answer.

Interview
Premier contact par email via une recruteuse externe, puis entretien avec cette recruteuse pour valider la correspondance de mon profil avec le profil recherché.
Suivi d'un contact avec un recruteur interne, qui m'a mis en relation avec une personne situé au niveau N+1 du poste auquel je candidatais, pour un entretien téléphone.
En parallele de cet entretien téléphone j'ai du répondre à un test en ligne, portant sur ma capacité de compréhension de tableaux et graphiques en un temps limité.
Suite à cela, j'ai été invité dans un fulfillment center pour des entretiens en face à face avec différents manager. Problème: personne sur le site n'était au courant de ma venue, j'ai donc été face a des personnes prises au dépourvu pour cette après-midi d'entretiens. Ces entretiens ont se sont déroulés en français comme en anglais.
Et suite à cela... absolument aucune nouvelle d'Amazon, malgré une relance par email de ma part auprès du recruteur interne.
