1) I applied online via Amazon Jobs and got an email to schedule a call with a recruiter. The first call was 45 minutes going briefly through my resume and then asking example based questions. 2) Two weeks later interview with hiring manager via Amazon Chime. Briefly introduced her experience and the job. Then started with example questions. "A time when you strongly disagreed with someone in your past experience" - "Example where you were in an ambiguous situation with little data and take a decision with a certain risk". Both with follow up questions. 3) A week later got an interview with someone from the hiring manager team. Again example questions. 4) Had to write an essay based upon an example "What is the most inventive or innovative thing you have done?" "Write about a judgment call you have made recently – i.e. in the last 12 months – that could not be analyzed beforehand". They gave me 5 days to send it back and was analyzed during the "Loop" interview again with the hiring manager. 5) Couple of days later got an email to schedule 5 45-60 minutes interviews "The Loop" which you can either take them in a single day or in two consecutive days. I chose the latter. The participants where managers from related departments and one senior manager who was the "bar raiser" (he was indicated as this by the scheduler). All. asked me example questions based on the 14 leadership principals. Some asked me a couple of questions, others 5 or 6. They all scrolled through a list of questions they had and took notes of my examples. 6) A week passed and got no response so emailed the scheduler if she had feedback from my interviews. A minute after got an email from a the lead recruiter asking for a call the same day. She told me some of my answers were good, which fitted with the some of the leadership principles but others don't, some of the examples given were repetitive (even if different people asked my the same questions) and not good enough, so they were fearful of hiring me.

Dispendi tempo de agenda e em entrevistas para, em uma das fases, o gestor me sinalizar que eu ainda estava em uma etapa inicial do processo, enquanto já havia outros candidatos mais avançados, próximos de fechar a oferta. Não faz sentido entrevistar um candidato quando existem outras pessoas tão próximas da fase de contratação. Além disso, não tive a oportunidade de aprofundar a conversa; parecia uma entrevista apenas para cumprir tabela. Vale lembrar que o candidato também investe tempo e cria expectativas. Tirando esse ponto, que considerei extremamente estranho, a dinâmica foi boa e organizada.
