I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Amazon (New York, NY) in Jan 2015
Interview
If the interview process was any indication of how Amazon.com operates, it would not be a company I would want to work for. They had to reschedule my phone interviews 4 different times. By the third time they rescheduled, I made up my mind and lost interest in the job.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Feb 2015
Interview
Typical phone interview with HR with basics about background. Had to contact several times over the phone to clearly establish expectations in terms of role. I was contacted by multiple business groups for multiple roles, however I did not see a good fit. AMZ seems to have good opportunities, however the candidate selection process needs to improve. Also, program manager interviewing should take time to understand the candidates background and their interest as opposed to trying to 'sell' the roles that they are trying to fill. It becomes obvious to the candidate that such roles / team managers would not be a good fit, even if the opportunity is very good.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Was contacted to be interviewed with many business groups. Questions were scenario based and had to provide responses based on real time / project experiences.
Talent adquisition Department handled the coordination very professionally. The Logistics and Operation hiring managers asked very interesting questions trying to determine if candidate was fit for the culture and solving problems with customer in mind, as well as to effectively manage cost saving and efficient routes to deliver goods. Process was done during 3 phone interviews.
