Interview
First I had one phone interview testing my knowledge about the company and simulating a selling experience. Then I got invited in Milan for a full day of interviews. The interviewers were supervisors of the different sectors involved with the job position and they all made the classical questions "tell me when you had problems with your boss" or " tell me a difficult situation" and this sort of stuff. Many interviewers were not in the office so a conf call was arranged for a remote interview. I'm still waiting for the train ticket refund as proposed for the interview in their offices.

Question 1
What's your challenge in this position as you are already an experienced Account Manager?
The job posting was on Craigslist. I never met a potential employer in person. I went through three phone interviews for the job before being offered the position. They never gave me a call back number so it would be difficult to get in touch with anyone if you were to miss the phone call.

Interview
Had 2 rounds of telephonic interview with Amazon India for role of Account Manager. 1st Interview focussed on Amazon and its offering in India -Junglee, Amazon.in and Amazon Web Services. Questions ranged from my favourite functionality, comparison of functionality with other competitors, and what additional features I would recommend. 2nd Interview focussed more on HR and situational questions. Eg, How did you handle difficult clients/ vendors in your previous job? What are your stregths and areas of development, how would your former colleagues describe you etc.
