      Contracts Manager (AWS) Interview

      23 Apr 2019
      Anonymous interview candidate
      London, England
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 7 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (London, England) in Jan 2019

      Interview

      Applied online and got selected, usual AWS recruitment process as been previously mentioned. started of with a phone screen with recruiter (good email communication), then 2 phone interviews with the hiring manager and then another member of the team and then a full day on-site interviews with various "Amzonians" including a Bar Raiser. Given AWS's insistences on its leadership principles and its core mission on customer experience, i question this value in its recruitment. AWS or Amazon's customer in recruitment is its candidates so for a candidate to go through all the interviews and reach on-site interview and complete that is an achievement in itself. what makes this a very negative experience is the fact that AWS do not detail the reason for rejection nor feedback to the candidate on areas where they fell short or why they were not selected. if its on the phone screen understandable given the number of candidates application they receive. This should be a core principle of customer obsession leadership principle as the candidate is AWS's customer in recruitment and its fundamental that they know what they were rejected for and how they get better. AWS or Amazon is dream company to work for and it should aspire people to learn and then retry as that it how people diversify and get better. Jeff Bezos famously stated its ok to fail and then to learn and get better and not make those mistakes again, how can a candidate get better if they do not know what they did wrong? AWS needs to get its recruitment much better if it wants a better disrupters, better and intelligent employees and diversify its workforce.
