Here are the most commonly searched roles for interview reports -
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Washington, DC) in Oct 2016
Interview
The process was pretty smooth, I was recruited on LinkedIn. They gave me a rental car to drive to Washington Dc and put me up in a hotel. The next day was the interview, which they put you in a board room with other people that they say you are not competing with, while also having a recruiter in there to answer any questions people may have about the company or the process while you wait. There are two interviews back to back. They ask some pretty basic questions that are not hard at all, pretty much the same old, name a time you were in this situation, blah blah blah. I thought both interviews went very well, so it was a bit surprising to me when I did not get a job offer. They dont tell you why you didnt get the offer, which is pretty disappointing, but whatever, I wont trash the process cuz I didnt get an offer. The people were extremely nice and they do reimburse you for any food and gas you had to spend money on for the trip, (which I definitely will now I didnt get an offer, LOL.) Overall, it was a good experience, and the interviews are not hard at all, so you dont have to panic going in there. After they are done interviewing you, you have 10-15 minutes to ask them questions. I asked some hard questions to the second interviewer and kind of made her look stupid cuz she didnt have the answers to them or said I dont know. Maybe thats why I didnt get the job, lol.

Question 1
Name a time you helped a struggling employee of yours out that benefited them and your company as well.
I applied through college or university. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Amazon (San Diego, CA) in Oct 2016
Interview
I was called in for an in-person interview in October 2016, which I drove some 120 miles to. Everything was exceedingly accommodating and expenses were reimbursed. Interview was normal, behavioral questions. A couple questions were different than the usual ones, but still normally behavioral. There was one management case question that covered a discrepancy in payment of an employee and how you would handle the situation; it was to see thought process as opposed to getting the right answer. I am currently deciding on the offer. All-in-all a good experience. I had two consecutive 1-on-1 interviews that each lasted about 40 mins. This was the only interview.
