I applied online. I interviewed at Amazon (Cape Town) in Jun 2017
Interview
interview process is new for me and challenging, you have to be well prepared and all questions could be described as academic more that experience
so you need to study the actual science and don't depend only on your experience
I applied online. I interviewed at Amazon (Wellington, ) in Jun 2017
Interview
The interview questions are really very tricky. All technical questions are very basic, and they will only ask what you are familiar with. But the behavioural questions drove me crazy. They intend to know everything about your past according to their leadership principles. But the thing is that's not possible you had met every situation what they need to know. And I don't think this kind of test will really help to filter their potential candidates.
