I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Jul 2016
Interview
Nerve Racking to some degree, but generally easy (for me)
- Consisted of a presentation
- "Loop" interview with bar raiser
- No input or temperature check possibilities of how interview is going.
- Very one-sided, where you do most of the talking (as with most interviews)
Preparing for an interview at Amazon is a must. Self Reflection is integral at successfully interviewing and connecting those business experiences to the leadership traits. Generally if you can sell yourself you will do fine.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Mostly behavioral and scenario type questions with exploration of scenarios and incorporating leadership traits.
Versant was the first round, from what I remember. Then it was a face to face round of interview with a senior manager. He asked about previous retail experiences, questions about how to keep a customer happy and retian the customer.
