I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Amazon
Interview
Hiring manager interview, then a 1v1 interview with a current employee. Everyone I interacted with was bizarre. There is something weird going on but I never felt like I was speaking to a real person.
In my 1v1 interview, the interviewer was late and announced they would shorten it by half. Um, ok. Asked about standard STAR questions like ‘tell me a time when something didn’t go well’ which I answered (and was interrupted while answering) then the interviewer proceeded to ask strange, irrelevant questions about circumstances beyond my control.
It would be like someone asking you, as a project manager who answered why a project went wrong, why your boss chose to hire vendor A over vendor B. None of that is relevant to the situation or your ability as an employee.
A very strange experience overall.
Went smooth, little bit tough but everything was related to job posted. It was a long one with duration of 5 hours including hiring manager and hr manager.
At the end i was told i will be contacted within 2 days for results
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Amazon (Virgin, UT) in Oct 2021
Interview
I came in through an internal referral. The process was a bit broken, but everyone was professional and helpful. I'm still going through the process and am anticipating an offer in the next couple of weeks.
