J'ai postulé via la recommandation d'un employé. Le processus a pris 4 semaines. J'ai passé un entretien chez Amazon (Seattle, WA) en avr. 2014
Entretien
Good/Easy phone screen process after a good friend/colleague of many years recommended me. I pre-interviewed with the hiring manager, as well, and I knew several people on the team. So was stunned by how brutal and in-your-face aspects of the interview were. Definetly did not feel "recruited" and would have never left my current company to join this workgroup after that experience.
Face to face interview was borderline humiliating. I am in my early 40s with over 20+ years experience and the initial interview was conducted by two early 20s recent college grads. One of which was one of the famous "bar raisers" and was probably the rudest interview in my entire life.
While I ended up having a whole day of pretty standard IT/technology business development and sales/markeitng interviews over the course of the day - nearly 9 interviewers over 8 hours at Amazon's lovely South Lake Union campus. I am sure it was over, before it began - at least it was for me, as I withdrew from the process on the drive home - I was so dissapointed and frustrated by the "bar raiser" I couldn't imagine working for a company that would allow anyone to talk to prospective employees like that.

Question 1
So, you had a lot of success at Microsoft, well this is not Microsoft - so tell me why we should hire you as we think folks from Microsoft DO NOT actually know how to work. Prove to me that you are different?

1 hour phone call with 2 questions that they want answered in STAR format. Then moved to Loop interviews where 5 members will interview you. Some ask 1 question and dig deep with several follow up "probing" questions. Others might ask for 6+ STAR stories. Intense across the span of a day but everyone is very kind, professional, and informative. Overall a very well outlined process that you are prepared for via email with your recruiting team.

Question 1
Tell me a time you used customer insights to inform a decision. Tell me a time sacrificed immediate wins for long term strategy. Tell me a time you simplified something other didn't see.
Interview process was long with several rounds at each level. I did feel prepared for each round as the recruiter I was working with was great at preparing me for each stage. Only reason I'm marking this as a poor overall experience, is at the offer level it felt like a bait and switch. I was incredibly transparent about my salary needs. The person that presented the offer was not the same recruiter I worked with throughout my process - it was significantly under my bottom line, and I was dismissed when I made an effort to negotiate. If comp was not a fit, I should have been told that from the start, as to not waste mine and everyone elses time.
