Interview
I applied online and received confirmation of a phone interview requesting me to selects slots that I was available for. The day after I received confirmation of a phone interview for a random slot disregarding my preference.
The phone interview itself was easy, sounder very informal covering the usual questions about why Amazon, how have I managed KPIs before and how would I address poor performer. We then had a bit of a chat about the role and I was told that I would hear back within 2-3 days. The day after I had a missed call from international number but no voice mail was left so I thought it was spam. Week after the interview I contacted Amazon saying that I haven't received any update and if they could get in touch. After that I got email stating I passed first stage and I was given another date/time for second interview which I confirmed was suitable.
On the day of the second interview nobody called so I emailed Amazon again and I was told that the interviewer was on leave and that they will reschedule when he is back. The day after I received email stating that they proceeded with different candidate, which I wasn't surprised about as another person who interviewed for the same job told me that he was informed during his interview that the job has been filled. Another friend of mine who applied for different job at the same time as I did had exactly the same experience.
Very disappointing recruitment process and communication
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Why Amazon?
How have you managed KPIs in your previous role?
How have you addressed underperformance in your team?
It is a thorough process, with clear communication around what to expect. Everyone was very helpful. There was an initial phone screening and then multiple one on one virtual interviews.
I applied online. The process took 8 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Bristol, Engeland) in May 2020
Interview
