I applied online. I interviewed at Amazon in Sept 2017
Interview
Overall, this process was a letdown.
Interview was over the phone. Consisted of going back and forth on interview dates/times. Disappointed because, for an SFA interview, majority of questions were not really finance-related nor finance-focused.
Make sure you brush up on Cloud Computing 101 with any AWS interviews regardless of function because in my case, I was not asked questions on NPV, how to financially look at 2 different projects, when to consider a project with negative NPV, discount rates, walking through financial statements, cost considerations, or the like.
Applied, recruiter reached out, asked for specific locations, sent jobs specifically in those locations, then a 60 min assessment that’s supposed to mimic a day in the life, if you pass (green) you go straight to a panel, if you do ok (yellow) you then have a technical a phone interview, if you fail (red) you get a rejection email
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Let’s say you have a vendor you have the option of paying $100,000 at receipt of invoice or $121,000 2 years from now. based off of those two things, What else would you look at to determine how your would pay? are you paying now or later and explain your thought process
