I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Amazon (London, England) in Apr 2016
Interview
Online Application, Numerical test, Phone interview and AC.
AC consisted of two competency based interviews, an individual presentation and a group exercise. Recruitment team was quite relaxed but the pace and intensity of the day was really quite high. Little time for breaks in between the assessments. Very big emphasis on competency based questions.
Psychometric testing followed by 30 minute phone interview with a category manager of Amazon.co.uk platform and final round assessment centre at Amazon's office in London consisting of CV-based interviews and group activities
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
How do you align with Amazon's leadership principles?
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (London, England) in Mar 2016
Interview
1. maths test
2. phone interview with a manager : 2 questions about 2 of the 14 leadership principles
3. I went to London for an assessment center :
- 2 interviews with managers (2 questions each about 2 of the 14 leadership principles)
- 1 group study case (compare 3 products of Amazon and choose in which one we want to invest)
- 1 study case about Amazon Premium (create a plan to double the membership in the UK)
The most important is to really prepare the 14 leadership principles and be able to apply each one of them to a personal situation. They really focus on that.
