I applied online. I interviewed at Amazon (Piacenza) in Apr 2017
Interview
Two preliminary interviews with HR and hiring manager, a written exercise for demonstrating communication written ability and a final face to face panel with four interviewers, after a very interesting one hour site tour
It was straightforward and structured. Length process with multiple rounds. It was critical to use STAR method metions specifics/ data where necessary. Behavioral round was straightforward. Leverage leadership principles and build your stories around that
Well structured multi-stage process. Interviews is intensive and structured to the Amazon Principles and STAR format. The expectation is to be detailed and provide clear examples, metrics and how you would do things differently.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Bengaluru)
Interview
For manager and above, once the recruitment team identifies a candidate, they are scheduled for interviews. Apart from a phone round, folks will typically go through 4-6 rounds of additional interview. It will help if candidates are able to structure their responses in SBI format bringing out strengths that align with Amazon leadership principles.
