Amazon Data Associate interview questions

After passing an initial screening, candidates must complete 3-4 hours of online tests. The online tests consist of transcription,typing and annotation tasks with some general linguistic questions. Typing requirement: 60 words per min. minimum. After that a background check is conducted, followed by a phone screen and potentially a job offer.

I was asked to do a phone interview first. Based on the job description and other reviews I expected to answer questions regarding my linguistics skills, but the interviewer said that knowledge of foreign languages is not required for this position. Moreover, he never even asked me to introduce myself or tell him about my background. During the interview I became completely lost because HR started asking me questions that were not related to the position I was applying for. When I asked him how long the employees usually tend to stay with the company-HR said he had no idea, that was my red flag. If you have no idea how long your employees stay with the company, you are not doing your job right. I was all set.
