J'ai postulé via un recruteur. J'ai passé un entretien chez Amazon (Seattle, WA) en avr. 2020
Entretien
5 rounds with different people. Ask tons of really unique situational questions, and give little to no positive or negative feedback throughout the process. Definitely looking for a certain time of employee who will not question managers or tasks, which isn't surprising at all as big tech. Keep answers short and concise 5 sentences I think is what they look for in STAR format. Memorize leadership principles and relate to questions. It's all just a game to have a successful interview and you can look up a ton of questions online.

Question 1
Tell me about a time you had a difficult customer experience/how did you handle it?
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.
