Applied for a position and was contacted several months later. Experience with recruiter was average. We never spoke in person and there were long periods of silence. Had two 45 minute phone interviews followed by a loop several weeks later over video. There was also a math test involved for some strange reason.
I respect the rigor of the process and their dedication to their leadership principles but the whole thing is very cold and seriously put me off. They ask zero questions about you, your career interests, or anything that might have to do with you as an individual. I didn't expect hugs or anything but their utterly humorless approach the whole thing really undermines their whole work hard, have fun line. They were very stiff and overly concerned with their notes and scripts.
J'ai postulé en ligne. J'ai passé un entretien chez Amazon en févr. 2026
Entretien
1. Interview with Hiring Manager
2. 4 Interviews with the team (Loop Interview)
Typical Behavioral Questions with the Leadership Principles. There was a Prep Call with HR beforehand. They always want to know what your learning is from certain situations. Interviews were 45-60min each. Got rejected by a call after the last round. Passed the loop but they hired someone with more experience in this industry.
Questions d'entretien [2]
Question 1
How did you solve a problem with not having all the relevant data?
The standard Amazon interview- five different people asking questions based around the Amazon leadership principles. Prepare examples of those and it's straightforward enough. The recruitment process can be long though.
Questions d'entretien [1]
Question 1
Describe a time you made a decision that differed from the planned strategy and why it felt like the best course of action
Interviewer was cold -- no typical pleasantries/greetings. Just jumped right into several "tell me about a time" scenarios, including returning to one (more than once) that I hadn't experienced. Was an odd interview.
Questions d'entretien [1]
Question 1
Tell me about a time when there was a conflict between two stakeholders and how did you handle it. I never had that happen, but she pressed and pressed. I presume it was a line item on a list of questions they were asking.
