I submitted my resume, I was contacted by an Amazon HR recruiter and I was scheduled for an interview with one of the hiring manager. I am sure the hiring manager is surely a terrific gentleman and an awesome employee but sadly, he was completely disengaged, disconnected, uninterested and unwilling to actually interview someone in order to hire and add a new (International) team member to the Alexa family. Before even starting the interview he told me to 'avoid being generic' in my answers but why would he assume I am going to be generic? In my opinion the hiring process was already being handled in an arrogant, presumptuous, condescending and intimidating way, I already knew there was no way I would get the job. He then added that he will have to cut me off during the interview to 'save time' and lastly, he stated that I will hear him "typing" but that doesn't mean he is not actively listening, he is just multi-tasking. All of this happened even before starting the interview. Well, in my opinion not only he wasn't listening, he did not want to conduct that interview at all. After each of my answers he would reply with a very bored "Okay" instead of commenting something pertinent to my actual answers. It seemed he was literally forced to interview me, perhaps someone else higher than him in the company told him he had to do it. It was so obvious the last thing he wanted to do was to interview me. Or maybe he had an internal co-worker or a friend who really wanted to get the job. He seemed very closed and absent minded and not welcoming and excited at all. The hiring manager specialty was "Sports" so the questions were all very heavily based on American Sports Teams. I didn't have a chance at all to talk about me, my background, my skills and I wasn't tested at all in my native tongue, Italian, even though it was a requirement for the job. The interviewer and hiring manager actually seemed to not care at all about the fact that I am bilingual and that I am from a different country and truly gave me the impression that to him, it was completely irrelevant to the position and the role. He was very unimpressed with any experience of mine that was "International" which doesn't make any sense because Amazon is an International Corporation. His answers to my questions about the role didn't make any sense and he seemed very bothered by the fact that I actually had questions about the role and he also made me repeat the questions because he wasn't paying attention. He mentioned he was a former employee of a different company recently acquired by Amazon and perhaps that was part of the problem.
