I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Aug 2023
Interview
Great initial interview with the recruiter, 50% focused on the job expectations with some questions about my background and how I met them, and 50% focused on comp, hybrid work, etc. Next interview was with two people from the hiring team. They went directly into Leadership Principles questions, and because anyone who interviews at Amazon should be expecting this, I found it relatively straightforward to answer. Following the interview, the recruiter got back to me the next day and said that the feedback from the interview team was great! However, they felt I was too senior for the role and would be better suited to a more senior one. The recruiter also shared that there was an internal candidate who had completed the interview loop and that they would probably offer this role to that person. She agreed to reach out to me with other, more senior-level roles.

Question 1
Leadership Principles questions like "Tell us about a time when you were planning a project and needed more detailed data than was available. How did you address the situation and what would you do differently if faced with the same situation?"
O processo seletivo da Amazon geralmente envolve quatro etapas: candidatura online, avaliações, phone screen e entrevistas com múltiplos entrevistadores (loop de entrevistas). Importante se atentar aos LPs Amazon e responder as perguntas em um método STAR.

Question 1
Give me an example of how you have changed the direction or view of a specific function/department and helped them embrace a new way of thinking.
El proceso consta de cuatro pasos: solicitud en línea, evaluaciones, entrevista telefónica y entrevistas en persona. Las evaluaciones en línea se diseñaron para medir las características clave necesarias para desempeñar con éxito una función. También permiten evaluar a los solicitantes de forma coherente y equitativa, puesto que cada persona experimenta lo mismo y recibe la misma información para completar la evaluación.
En función del cargo, es posible que deba realizar una evaluación durante el proceso de solicitud o que esta se envíe una vez que haya presentado su solicitud. El número de evaluaciones dependerá del empleo al que se presente y, en algunos casos, se deben realizar en un plazo determinado. Los dos tipos más comunes de evaluaciones son las evaluaciones del estilo de trabajo y las simulaciones de muestra de trabajo.
