      Site Merchandiser/Marketing Manager Interview

      3 Oct 2014
      Anonymous interview candidate
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon

      Interview

      This was one of the most dissapointing interview processes experiences I have encountered...the recruiter seemed inexperienced, was all over the place, did not know much about the team and communicated very poorly. He forgot to inform me that my initial scheduled phone interview was cancelled. Then he moved it to another day/time without even confirming with me if that worked with my schedule. For my second phone interview a completely different person showed up to do the interview, and I was not informed, again...not to even mention that person was not part of the team that I was interviewing for...also, unlike what I was told, that I should hear back withing 3-5 days...he forgot to follow-up for about 10 days...I attempted to contact him again and he said I wasn't a good fit...and then about another week or so I received a similar canned official and polite email from him, informing me again that it was a "no"...clearly he didn't keep track of that fact that we had had that converstation before...I expected a much better grasp and professionalism from the interviewing team...

      Tell me about a time you used data to make a business decision?
      Answer question

      Question 3

      They also threw an unexpected quantitative case about the success of email marketing campaigns. They give you a few metrics for 2 email marketing campaigns and ask you to compare the success of the campaigns against each other.

      Marketing Manager - Site Merchandising Interview

      19 Jun 2015
      Anonymous employee
      Seattle, WA
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied through an employee referral. The process took 7 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in May 2015

      Interview

      The process at Amazon is hard on purpose. They are looking for people who are willing to grind and work hard and the interview process reflects that. The recruiters are very nice and professional but there is no hand holding. The in person interviews are set up to ensure that you fit the culture and can adapt to the leadership principles. The process takes typically 6-9 weeks from first contact by a recruiter to decision.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      all behavioral questions "what did you do when you disagreed with a decision your manager made"
