I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Sydney)
Interview
I was a referral from another employee. First round interview was with the hiring manager and took about 30 minutes. Pretty standard “tell me about yourself” and more of a chat.
Second round interviews was with 4 different members of the team each for 1 hour. All complex “tell me about a time when…” questions. Most I had prepared for but there were a few curve balls such as “tell me about a time when you made a short term sacrifice for a long term gain”. They are looking for answers to align with their 13 pillars. I would recommend looking these up online and memorising answers to all
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Tell me about a time when you made a short term sacrifice for a long term benefit?
Great management, it was a walk in drive and the HR team was able to manage everything well. Enjoyed the process.
All the best to everyone going for the interview.
fairly easy. phone then hiring manager. took a few weeks to hear back and didn’t get the job unfortunately. i will keep trying! amazon is a great company and i think i just need a bit more experience.
1 Phone screen, 4 loops of behavioral interviews. A bar raiser is involved in one of the 4 loops. They respond back in the same week regarding the next steps / feedback
