      Editor Interview

      13 Oct 2017
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Seattle, WA
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Aug 2017

      Interview

      The arrogance, selfishness and lack of professionalism were striking. I was told that I would have to do a substantial writing test before I would have a conversation w. the hiring manager (and have any idea if I was a good fit for the position and team). The conversation was in fact not with the hiring manager, but with someone on the team. And she decided to bring along a junior member of the team so that person could get some experience with the hiring process. (Their words, not mine.) That meant they were on speakerphone and it was obviously hard for them to hear me, for me to hear them -- which made the interview that much more difficult. They consistently asked me to repeat myself & vice versa. It was a headache. Oh by the way, the AMZN people were several minutes late. I've had my share of interviews over the years; w, the test and how they chose to handle the interview itself, this was among the worst. I'm old enough that I remember a time when companies made a teensy little effort to put their best foot forward, come across as appealing. Clearly Amazon has moved past that.

      Tell me about a time when you didn't have enough data to make the right decision. What did you do? What path did you take? Did the decision turn out to be the correct one?
