Solicité el puesto a través de un captador. Acudí a una entrevista en Amazon (Seattle, WA) en jun 2014
Entrevista
Reached out by a recruiter via LinkedIn. Contacted by a different recruiter to set up interview. Interviewed with a person with the same exact title of the position I was applying for - but for a different department/category.
In the email, I was told to prepare for the phone interview, have questions ready, and be prepared to talk about my resume.
The phone interview breakdown:
1. Tell me about your resume
Questions:
1. What are some things you think we can improve on for the homepage for your category/department?
2. If a company came to you and asked how you'd promote them if they paid you x dollars, what would you say and do?
3. If a company came to you with a $500k advertisement offer to be placed on the front page of Amazon, would you take it. Why and why not?
4. How would you measure expected revenue from product X that will release in 6 months?
5. What is your biggest accomplishment to date?
Preguntas de entrevista [1]
Pregunta 1
When asked about how I would measure future revenue for X product, I thought it was a pretty simple question so I didn't understand what he was looking for. I overthought the question - because I felt advertisement, building the hype of the product, and product familiarity all came into play in addition to similar products that sold in the past.

Entrevista
1. Interview with Hiring Manager
2. 4 Interviews with the team (Loop Interview)
Typical Behavioral Questions with the Leadership Principles. There was a Prep Call with HR beforehand. They always want to know what your learning is from certain situations. Interviews were 45-60min each. Got rejected by a call after the last round. Passed the loop but they hired someone with more experience in this industry.

How did you solve a problem with not having all the relevant data?
The standard Amazon interview- five different people asking questions based around the Amazon leadership principles. Prepare examples of those and it's straightforward enough. The recruitment process can be long though.

Pregunta 1
Describe a time you made a decision that differed from the planned strategy and why it felt like the best course of action
Interviewer was cold -- no typical pleasantries/greetings. Just jumped right into several "tell me about a time" scenarios, including returning to one (more than once) that I hadn't experienced. Was an odd interview.

Pregunta 1
Tell me about a time when there was a conflict between two stakeholders and how did you handle it. I never had that happen, but she pressed and pressed. I presume it was a line item on a list of questions they were asking.
