I applied through a recruiter. The process took 6 months. I interviewed at Amazon in Feb 2022
Interview
Long winded, repetitive. Was told the whole team hadn’t hit quota for 18 months, which surprised me because I thought Amazon handled underachievers through their PIP program. When asking one of the panelists, who was on said team, why they hasn’t hit quota… he freaked out, slammed his hands on his desk and yelled “WHO TOLD YOU THAT?! THAT’S PROPRIETARY INFORMATION”. Ding ding ding - found the bottom producer on that team. Proprietary or not, don’t yell at me during an interview when you can’t perform. Let the HR know and declined the interview. Amazon might be a heavyweight in tech but unfortunately there’s still a team of losers on some levels.
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.
