      Senior Manager, Vendor Management Interview

      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied through other source. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon in Sep 2012

      Interview

      I went through 3 separate phone screens, one with the recruiter then one with a hiring manager, then one with a peer. I was then flown to Seattle where I had 8 interviews over an 8 hour day. The interviewers seemed to be working from a master list of questions that they divided up. So most of the time was taken with a heavy behavioral group of questions. Everything from "tell me about a time where you disagreed with your manager, but had to execute anyway." to "tell me about your worst hiring decision. Each took what appeared to be detailed notes, except the most senior person I met with and the person who took me to lunch, who would have been a direct report. Also, before I went, I had to do an essay. I didn't love either of the two questions I was given.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      What is the most inventive or innovative thing you’ve done? It doesn’t have to be something that’s patented. It could be a process change, product idea, a new metric or customer facing interface – something that was your idea. It cannot be anything your current or previous employer would deem confidential information. Please provide us with context to understand the invention/innovation. What problem were you seeking to solve? Why was it important? What was the result? Why or how did it make a difference and change things?
