      Engineer Interview

      28 Feb 2022
      Anonymous interview candidate
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Amazon

      Interview

      The overall process was not pleasant. The whole interview process took almost 4 months. First role I interviewed for was filled while waiting for my next interview. Luckily recruiter found another good fit. The interview process is too long and the questions were wordy to the point where I felt like I could not follow the STAR method when answering the question. The questions asked were repetitive, although sound different, it was the same question asked and the answer I provided to the question prior would have been the same answer for the current question. I have a lot of examples to provide for my experience but, the questions asked were for certain situations that were repetitive and did not represent exactly what I could offer. Each group asked up to 5 questions along with the follow up questions, I could not find the time to ask my questions to determine culture fit, I wanted to interview with the direct team members. Discuss the role with the internal customers that the role would serve. I couldn't really identify the culture and the growth opportunity in the role. I enjoyed talking to the hiring manager however, I wish I had talked to him sooner rather than the one time during the 6 hour interview. I had follow up questions about the role after talking to the other members. Ultimately, I am relieved that I was not presented with an offer since it seemed like it wasn't a good fit from the background I was receiving. I believe I was overqualified and felt at peace with the end decision.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Tell me about a time you failed at work. Describe a time when a plan did not go as expected. Describe a time when you needed to change a project timeline unexpectedly.

      Good experience all around. Never ended up getting hired when I first interviewed. They were fair and let me know some reasons why they didn't. I was also younger and newer to interviewing for companies.

      Very long process with a lot of prior preparation needed, lots of behavioral questions and scenarios, multiple days and still after all of that you get a rejection with zero feedback.
