J'ai postulé via la recommandation d'un employé. Le processus a pris 6 semaines. J'ai passé un entretien chez Amazon (Londres, Angleterre) en juin 2021
Entretien
This position was in the Risk and Compliance Services (RCS) team.
First call with the hiring manager, with a 'surprise' SQL test straight away. The test was not that easy, requires strong SQL skills (self-joins etc).
Then second round with 4 interviews (!) with 3 members of the team + one from another team. They were supposed to be only behavioral interviews, but I had to do another SQL test for 30 mins in the first of these 4 interviews.
Overall the communication with them is rubbish. It took them over 3 weeks to schedule these 4 interviews. The last interview got confirmed the same day, 3 hours later!
Declined it since they salary offer was £13k below what I expected (despite giving them my salary expectations from the start of the process). Waste of time with unprofessional people. Such a shame for Amazon.
Questions d'entretien [1]
Question 1
Tell me about a time when you had a difficult interaction with a senior stakeholder.
The interview process includes a SQL test, an initial recruiter call, and a final five-round loop featuring technical questions and discussions focused on Amazon leadership principles with different team members.

Question 1
They asked a key question focused on both technical depth and culture fit: how you apply your skills to solve real problems, along with examples demonstrating alignment with Amazon’s leadership principles.

Entretien
Interviewed for Business Analyst role at Amazon and honestly the process felt exhausting and impersonal.
The interviewers seemed far more focused on checking boxes against the 14 Leadership Principles than actually understanding the candidate or having a genuine conversation. Almost every question was another version of a STAR behavioral scenario, even when it barely related to the actual role.
The process felt extremely rehearsed and rigid. There was little effort to make the candidate feel comfortable or valued, and it often felt like they had already decided the outcome before the interview even started.
Technical and analytical depth barely mattered compared to how perfectly you could package stories into Amazon’s preferred format. If you don’t have polished STAR stories memorized for every possible situation, the process can feel unnecessarily difficult and draining.
Overall, one of the most mentally exhausting interview experiences I’ve had.

The basic STAR format, but the team was not clear about what they were looking for. The recruiter was not very responsive and took a long time to schedule the calls
