Candidatei-me online. O processo levou 4 semanas. Fui entrevistado pela Amazon em jan. de 2017
Entrevista
Nach der Onlinebewerbung folgte das erste informelle Gespräch mit einem Hiring-Manager.
Die Terminierung für den Online-Exceltest über die englischsprachige HR-Abteilung zog sich ein paar Wochen hin. Die (fachliche) Absage erhielt ich noch während des Tests. Die HR-Abteilung hat mir wenige Tage später die förmliche Absage zugeschickt. Man sollte Excel und Englisch sicher anwenden können. Eine grobe Idee zu haben reicht nicht.

Entrevista
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.
