Le processus a pris plus d'une semaine. J'ai passé un entretien chez Amazon (Seattle, WA) en mai 2011
Entretien
Recruiter contacted me out of the blue. I initially said I wasn't interested as the job didn't fit my background or skillset, but I was eventually convinced to discuss the position. Several separate sources told me that Amazon was known to be a terrific place to work, so I moved forward.
The first interview was with the hiring manager, who was great, I really like their style and how they conducted themselves and I felt good about the opportunity.
Following week I spoke with a more technical person, who at the end of the fairly long interview said the position was more technical than I was and he didn't think I was right for it, but that he liked my approach. I mentioned that the job description vs. what I seemed to be interviewing for was one of my concerns about the position to begin with. In this area, at least, they seem to have a disconnect between how they describe their positions, and what they actually want out of them.
I wasn't really upset at not moving forward, it was more that after two rounds of interviews beyond the recruiter screening (the second one being a fairly grueling 2 hours):
1) They didn't have the courtesy to let me know I would not be moving on.
2) After I pinged the recruiter for a followup, I still didn't receive a "thanks but no thanks" reply.
I'm a little annoyed at this treatment since my time is valuable, and this degree of unprofessional behavior at this point in the process is not what I'd expect from company of this size and reputation.
Questions d'entretien [2]
Question 1
The standard "how did you handle a conflict situation where there were two different points of view?"
It had 6 rounds- heavily focussed on leadership principles. they really do cross question almost every other example.......... You get multiple interviewers across the organisation. I thought- the questions were repetitive after one point.

No HR screen; you answer those questions over email. You do a ridiculous project simulation where you answer emails. Paradoxically it’s interesting yet cheesy at the same time. Very unique but not that difficult. Then the first real interview. Rarely with the direct hiring manager; usually someone else in the org but not this direct team. So it’s useless to research the department. In fact, it’s better to prepare your strong STAR examples. They probe deep, which is fine. They heavily expect numbers. The more you can spout out random numbers (it’s okay, no one will verify) the better. The final round is more of the same — Just more STAR interviews, 2 per session, 4 sessions total. The people in this round are even more critical and harsh than the previous rounds. All done by people who have worked here for 5+ years and have never left — or if they did they came from another FANG company. So they’re all typically arrogant and jaded and negative or on the way to getting there. Finally they all have this weird verbal communication style where they just talk on and on like they expect you to interrupt them — but it’s an interview so you have to be polite can’t interrupt them. So like what the heck.

1. Initial Screening: It begins with a recruiter sync.
2. The "Loop": It's a 5-to-6-round panel interview focusing on deep technical skills, system design, leadership principles, or domain expertise depending on the role.
