      Enterprise Account Executive Interview

      20 Nov 2018
      Anonymous interview candidate
      New York, NY
      Declined offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (New York, NY) in Oct 2018

      Interview

      Process driven nonsense. Like being interviewed by Alexa. One of Amazon's claimed values is humility. Everyone is supposed to be humble and respectful of others. That was not what I found. My personal opinion of interviews is that they are as much about you qualifying the employer as they are about them qualifying you as an employee, but that's not Amazon's approach. Instead of a two way process where you can be authentic and let your strengths and personality come forward, you are forced in to an unnatural and painful conversation. Amazon uses behavioural style questioning in their interviews and I knew that there would be some of this. But I wasn't prepared for the interviews to be 100% behavioural questions; 'What would you do if...' 'Describe a time when...' There were 5 interviews each lasting 45 minutes, plus a 60 minute panel presentation. There was zero conversation or getting to know each other, just questions read from a screen. As a candidate and potential future employee I did not get anything back from the interviewers to allow me to get a better feel for whether or not I wanted to work at AWS. At the mid point of the day I was so unimpressed that I almost pulled out, but as I had come this far I decided to see it through. I told my next interviewer that I felt like the process was a little 'one way' and his response was 'If you have done your research then you'll know all you need to know about whether you want to work here or not'. If Amazon wants me to base my impression of them on internet based research and the glossy YouTube videos put together by marketing, then they can base their decision on my LinkedIn profile. But of course they won't do that, so why should I? Their arrogant, robotic, overly structured process gives a candidate absolutely no opportunity to get a feel for the place or for their culture, and in my case it totally put me off and there was no way I would have moved from my current role to AWS, based on this terrible interview experience. If you are a seasoned sales professional from IBM, SAP, Oracle, Salesforce, Microsoft etc. then AWS probably isn't for you. If you are a process driven robot devoid of personality, then you'll fit right in!

      Enterprise Account Executive Interview

      10 Sept 2024
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Phoenix, AZ
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I interviewed at Amazon (Phoenix, AZ)

      Interview

      It took several weeks for the first phone interview to get scheduled. The person conducting the interview was in Central America and was not going to be part of the team and was asked to do the interview. Very little feedback or communication throughout the process.

      Enterprise Account Executive Interview

      Anonymous interview candidate
      New York, NY
      Declined offer
      Negative experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (New York, NY) in Jun 2022

      Interview

      The entire process was way too time consuming for interview. Multiple rounds of online assessments, interviews, take-home work. Very intensive for below average market rates and (supposed) terrible workplace culture.

      Multiple online assessments to review aptitude, workplace views, and basic retail concepts.

      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Johannesburg) in Apr 2022

      Interview

      The process is a two step process, first step is a p phone interview with the hiring manager to screen you, the second is called the loop. It is 5 individual interviews which are an hour each, and all happen on the same day.
