Candidatei-me por meio de uma faculdade ou universidade. O processo levou 1 semana. Fui entrevistado pela Amazon (Provo, UT) em fev. de 2017
Entrevista
30 minute phone interview turned shoot the breeze.
First interview of the day and interviewer had called on time, but was still settling down. He politely apologized and asked me to tell him about myself while he settled down (not an unusual question, be sure to answer about your qualifications to the role, not your personal life story). My overview apparently gave the look he wanted, because he cut the interview there, passed me to the next step, and we discussed about next steps. He did mention one of the technical questions usually discussed, but I didn't have to answer directly.

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.

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.

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.
