Candidatei-me online. O processo levou 2 semanas. Fui entrevistado pela Amazon (München, Bavaria) em abr. de 2015
Entrevista
I had a phone interview with a recruiter, and a week later another phone interview with the hiring manager.
They send you prior to the interview some instructions about the structure of the interview (STAR structure). It was pretty easy in both phases, and the interviewers stuck to job related questions and to the company's leadership principles.
I wasn't selected for the job, which I discovered by looking at my online profile. Before checking my profile at amazon careers (I had forgotten that I had one) I had sent 2 emails about any feedback on the last interview, and I never got any response. I think it would have been decent at least to receive a notifying email, at the end both parties dedicated their time to the interviewing process.
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.

Pergunta 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.

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.

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
