Amazon Sr Operations Manager interview questions

Interview was fast but tough and drawn out. Started with an online assessment, then 2 phone interviews followed by an interview assessment day with 4 interviews back to back. The interview was 2 interviewers in each one, there was a General Manager, HR representative, and 2 Peer Senior Managers it was Situation Capability based on the Amazon principles.

As per the many glassdoor reviews: 1. Telephone by HR Manager 2. Telephone by a General Manager of a FC 3. Online test by SHL to test aptitude 3. Panel Interview of 4 individual 1:1 interviews lasting 45 minutes 4. Decision Again, as per the previous reviews use the STAR format of answering and the Amazon leadership principles. You need to have solid examples to back up your responses. No fluff, focus on the results and what you did to acheive them. All in all, the interview process was one of the most organised I have ever been involved in. The panel interview day was very intense and combined a tour of an FC, which was very insightful. The panel interview was a great experience and a great challenge, which I would definitely do again. I got a job offer about 1 week after the panel interview day. HOWEVER: - The process is very mechanical. This is very much a conveyor belt process. As mentioned, Amazon is a machine and the drive is to chrun out the managers and grab as many of them as they can. I gues this is well known. There is no real feeling of them wanting you - this doesn't really form part of their process. - The HR recruiter was awful. His communications were awful and would set up times to call but never call. This put me off the process big time. Very disappointing as everyone else that I had either met or interacted with were brilliant and were actually pulling me towards the company. - When I did eventually speak with the HR recruiter he gave me details of the offer which were VERY attractive, however scope of the work wasn't clear and kept changing. So I responded by saying I decline the position. I guess this wasn't a problem for them as never heard back from them and I guess back to the conveyor belt. Think this was a good decision as the cons would have outweighed the benefits for me.
