I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Boekarest, ) in Jul 2014
Interview
Interviewing process took about 6 weeks. It was only by phone and online tests. Also i had to pass a language audit done by a third party firm. The first 3 phone interviews were done by the sffing agency and, after all the language tests, i had a final phone conversation with an Amazon representative.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Cork) in Aug 2014
Interview
Received phone and got interviewed. Question on when I have dealt with a difficult situation. How I solved the situation and why amazon.
Received e-mail that I am to join the assessment 1 week later.
There it took about 2 hours 4 different tests.
1 Interview - 3 questions> when have you surprised a customer with reading his needs/problem?
2 A time where I have done something out of my tasks assignment(as in when I have stepped in when needed without being asked or not being my domain something like that )
3 A decision that I took on my own at work and how did it turned out.
There was no eye contact as the person was writing down and writing down a lot.
Then a second room 3 tests.
WPM and making no mistakes.
A letter to a customer who was not really happy.
and 3rd exercise never saw what it was about just saw it was 2 questions but never had the chance to finish cause time ran out. it was 5 minutes test on wpm a presentation about amazon then the 20 minutes for next 2 exercises.
then different room a fake customer service phone call. really pleasant and friendly. wanted to see how I react on phone and if I can multi task.
4th back to test room a 9 questions test related with computers. example: how you copy a file to pen drive, how do you disconnect a pen drive, what is first thing I would think if a customer can't log into their windows because of user password(I wrote caps locks) and most difficult was difference between 3g and wifi I would say.
Then we we're to wait for response by email if we passed or not and then if we pass it comes a 7 days training with working and 8th day exam if we would pass we would get the job.
9 days after received email that I did not pass to next step.
Hope it really helps.
