Interview
Applied overnight and was contacted the next morning, took and assessment and was invited to interview and given two options of where to interview. Was flown to a different state, all accommodations were taken care of. Never been so well taken care of by a company. The interview began with the math problem, was with maybe 6 other people. Then we were all taken to our first interviews which lasted anywhere between 30-45 minutes and then taken to the second interview right after which lasted the same and soon enough let go home. Very extensive questions about creativity and thinking outside the box.

I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Graben, Bayern) in Nov 2015
Interview
Mit der Einladung zum Gespräch wurde gleich ein Infoblatt zum Fragesystem, die Leadership principles und ein Zeitplan geschickt.
Ich wusste zumindes theoretisch was auf mich zukommt.
Der Ablauf war wie im Plan angegeben.
Werksführung, kurzer Mathe-Test und insgesamt 4 Einzelgespäche.
Klingt erst mal viel, ist aber auf Grund der angenehmen Atmosphere nicht schlimm.
3 der 4 Gesprächspartner waren potetielle Kollegen bzw. Vorgesetzte. Neben den allgemeinen Fragen zur Erfahrung und dem Lebenslauf wurden immer Fragen mit Fokus auf die Principles gestellt.

Ein Principle ist, je nach Situation schnell zu handeln und ein gewisses Risiko in kauf nehmen. Waren Sie schon einmal in so einer Situation? Wie haben Sie gehandelt, was war das Ergebnis?
