Envié una solicitud electrónica. Acudí a una entrevista en Amazon (Seattle, WA) en abr 2017
Entrevista
A series of leading telephone calls, many many behavioral questions, just about zero technical validation questions. Lots of tell me about a time when. Telephone interviews led up to an on-site, day long presentation and one-on-one interviews (some in person, some over the phone, some over video).
My "lunch buddy" took me out, explained that none of what we talked about was part of the interview, but they wanted to make us feel at home.
Within 5 minutes she expressed that there is a lack of diversity and the company is led by middle aged white guys (of which I am a doughy mid-western white guy), so that was a tiny bit uncomfortable I suppose. Not a great first impression to have somebody express that type of opinion.
Recruiting does help you out leading up to the interviews, but as you would suspect, once you have completed the interview there is little/zero communication or follow-up. Don't expect feedback about what went well/wrong with the interview (still have not received feedback). You know all those great Linkedin articles you read about soliciting feedback, following-up? Yeah that all goes into a black hole at Amazon.
Below it will ask if you got an offer, I answered No because after weeks I still have not heard back from recruiter.
Brutal interview, but truth be told if you are interviewing for jobs, this type of grueling process will set you up to absolutely fly in other interviews.

Pregunta 1
What leadership principle do you most likely/least likely identify with? (Know the leadership principles very well).
7 to 8 rounds in total including interview loop including a bar raise for L5+ levels and above. Took about 2 weeks to conclude and hear back from the recruiter.
great overall, no issues, clear questions. HR was very kind and respectful. Prepare yourself well for the cliche questions in order to ensure everything goes smoothly. Good luck . . .
The interview process was surprisingly easy to navigate, from the initial contact to the final interview, everything was well-organized and efficient. The communication was clear and timely, making the whole experience quick and stress-free. I appreciated how straightforward the process was, allowing me to focus on demonstrating my skills and experience.
