      Internal Controls Manager Interview

      Feb 6, 2020
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      San Jose, San Jose
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Amazon (San Jose, San Jose) in Jan 2020

      Interview

      After the two initial phone screenings I had the most horrible experience. Less than 24 hours the logistics and one interviewer changed. During the loop the only two local team members were binary opposites to the amazon principles. I even reached out to my recruiter to express my ambiguity and discomfort on how these two rounds went. Five days after they were supposed to get back on the outcome, I emailed the recruiter who chose to ignore my emails and follow ups for for about two weeks. I ended up learning that I was rejected by looking at the job application site despite the fact of everyone during the loop emphasizing on the five business day turnaround and HR getting back regardless of the hire / no hire. Amazon's principles have become wall hangers - they should walk the talk if they are truly the earth's most customer obsessed company being accountable to let people know on a timely manner what the decision was despite the no feedback policy. Thankfully I got the post on site survey request and was able to share all my negative experience regardless of the lack of communication on whether I'd continue under consideration or not. There is a total lack of ownership also on the hiring team's end, after reading the feedback I got an apologetic call from the recruiter saying he was too busy and on a business trip and didn't know why I never got a note on the decision - This call was triggered due to the survey's feedback and not because he truly cared to close the loop. If amazon truly walked the talk, I'd expect a call from the hiring team given the aggraviting incidents I encountered with two of the interviewers. No wonder why this particular role has been open for more than a year - and they still haven't figure out that two of the parties interviewing skills are "garbage in garbage out" approach. The questions are non sense, not applicable to replying them through the STAR style, and carried out in Spanish - I'm sure by now they must only contribute towards obstructing and blocking candidates to probably further their careers taking advantage on the backfill gap. I even nailed the background of one of the nasty interviewers from having supported the account on my early stage of my career, which was confirmed by the recruiter on his apology call and he also confirmed there was a track of negative interview feedback on this individual. So having seven people spending more than 315 minutes does not provide assurance that the bar is raised and a proper fit is chosen. Recruiter also mentioned actions were being rolled out to prevent negative experiences for other candidates due to this interviewer's style. I am sorry to have gone through such a lengthy process and getting to meet three great role models to later find out during the loop that two of my potential peers were far away from each principle. Out of respect for the other interviewers, I did not withdraw my application as I appreciated my initial recruiter coordinator effort in setting up the logistics, which at the end were blown up by two people who added an extra ton inclining the scale to a negative experience.
