J'ai postulé en ligne. Le processus a pris 3 mois. J'ai passé un entretien chez Amazon (München, Bavaria)
Entretien
There are a number of rounds and hurdles which takes weeks to go through. Once you are at one of final stages you are asked to attend back-to-back in person interviews which last 4 hours and most interviewers are more focused on ticking off their interview checklist than getting to know your actual background knowledge and experience for the specific role applied for. There is also ambiguous information given at the time of interviewing regarding the role

Question 1
All interviews are based on scenarios where you need to give examples
Screening call with recruiter, followed by 3 back-to-back interview loops. Interviews focused primarily on behavioral questions tied to Amazon Leadership Principles, along with an Excel assessment testing analytical and data manipulation skills.
The process was well-structured and followed Amazon’s typical interview format:
1. Recruiter Screening
* Initial discussion about experience, role scope, and expectations
* Basic behavioral and background questions
2. Hiring Manager Interview
* Focus on past experience, business impact, and ownership
* Mix of behavioral and situational questions
3. Interview Loop (3–5 interviews)
* Multiple interviewers covering different Amazon Leadership Principles
* Included a Bar Raiser interview
* Heavy focus on:
* Decision-making
* Trade-offs
* Metrics and impact
* Depth of ownership

Question 1
Useless leadership principles framed in behavioral question. Tell me about a time when
You start with an online assessment, which is relatively easy. Then a recruiter reaches out to you if you pass and will ask standard hiring questions. After which, you will then have a phone screen interview and if you pass, you do an interview loop with 5 people. Which is insane for a role that does not pay 100K annually. They also make you go prepare 12-20 STAR stories that you should pretty much memorize.
