I applied online. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Manchester, England) in Nov 2016
Interview
I applied online, the process took more or less 6+weeks.
As mentioned before there are 4 steps:
CV screening
Numerical Test 18 questions (maths-logical-verbal)
Video Interview. There were 11 questions (not sure) but only 6 were actually recorded.
Why Amazon,
A situation where you were leading a group of people,
One on interpersonal skills and how do you build up relationships.
Overall average questions, 1 minute to think, 3 minutes to answer.
Just few days later I received an invitaiton to go to the final stage.
Half day in one of their warehouse. 4 panel interviews (4 different interviewers) and a tour around the warehouse.
4-5 questions each. (no maths exam)
The first one is always related on your experience (describe yourself, why you are the right candidate)
The second is related with your motivation (why amazon or something similar)
After they pick 2 of the leadership principles and they ask you 1-2 questions per principle depending on your answer. Overall really friendly envirnoment compared to other face interviews.
I feel like there are few key points to get the job.
Ask questions, always come up with strong leadership or decision making examples, show interest, make sure to mention 2-3 of the principles to show that you made your homework, be relaxed (I have seen a lot of stressed candidates, there is no point!).
I did the interview just 2 days ago, so I dont know the result.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Why amazon?
Tell me about a situatiion where you were leading a group
Situation where you were dealing with data
Tell me about a situation where you were leading but you failed? Why? What would you change? Regrets?
Situation where you were dealing with difficult people
Prior to even speaking to anyone about a possible interview there was a long and lengthy testing required. Really disappointing to finish with no feedback or additional details. I only received an email post test.
I applied online. I interviewed at Amazon (Stamford, CT)
Interview
Extremely unprofessional in my opinion. Talked to 3 different people, all of whom were wearing old sweatshirts and not looking at the camera. As I was sitting on zoom in a suit jacket, did not feel at all a place I would be valued at.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Conflict between coworkers, how would you approach resolving?
or an Amazon Level 4 (L4) Area Manager phone interview, you will face 2 to 3 main behavioral questions, alongside a highly possible operational math screening question. Because L4 is typically an entry-level management role (often targeted at recent college graduates or individuals with early-stage leadership experience), the focus shifts heavily toward potential, basic problem-solving, and your ability to lead groups of people
