Candidatei-me de outra forma. O processo levou 4 meses. Fui entrevistado pela Amazon (Seattle, WA) em jun. de 2016
Entrevista
Several phone interviews with finance leaders. One HR prep interview. On site interview with 6 people. Two HR, one Ops, 3 finance leaders (not the ones from the phone interviews). The on site was the most intense, but the material helped to prep you - you need personal examples to align with their leadership principles. Most people were very nice, but as others have stated there is one person who acts in a mildly derogatory manner and insinuates that you don't know what you are talking about. I believe that is to determine how you react to someone pushing back. Stay cool and realize its a game.
There is a basic excel test you take prior to the scheduling of your on site.
They do a nice job of setting up your travel and provide a decent hotel, near to the site.
Although I had the experience and education that they were looking for - I had to repeatedly reach out to people for 3 weeks after the on site, asking for some resolution. The HR person said she had left me a VM (which she did not) and I finally got someone to tell me they weren't going to move forward with my candidacy.
In retrospect, I believe that it may be a case of age discrimination. Everyone I interviewed with was at least 10-15 years younger than I was. I have also spoken to another individual (around my age) who had the same experience and despite being very qualified - was abruptly dropped from the process after the on site. I never misrepresented myself, my experience and my social networking picture is current. Although I have no definitive proof - I would tell people over 50 to serious think about investing their time to prepare and travel to interview with a very company that values youth.
Other than the time I felt that I wasted, the overall experience was not negative until after the on-site and only because I couldn't get a definite answer and that was only one silly HR person. That's why I rated it as neutral.

Pergunta 1
Tell me about a time you took a process or procedure and simplified it?
One HR screening, Phone screening, Loop interview with 5 People, Team matching interview. The loop interview was tiring since it was 45mins per interview, and you would have to provide examples for LPs.

Generally conversational and asking about your resume and experience. After the assessment link is sent to you via HR, they can invite you for a phone screen. This phone screen generally lasts an hour.
They asked a lot of behavioral questions and it seemed like SQL/Data Analysis was heavily required. Would definitely recommend prepping all the common behavioral question. Also its important to know the core principles of Amazon
