Candidatei-me por meio de recrutador(a). O processo levou 5 meses. Fui entrevistado pela Amazon em ago. de 2022
Entrevista
I interviewed with Amazon for almost 5 months before being dropped when they started their layoffs. I was originally interviewed for a Business Analyst role, was told they would be proceeding with an offer, and then got a call that they wanted to offer an interview as a Technical Program Manager instead. This is after completing the loop interview. I said I was interested, and then for 3 months chased down my original and new recruiters asking for updates. Finally, I asked if I could just go back to being slated to the Business Analyst role but was ghosted by the whole team, potentially due to them being laid off.

Candidatei-me online. Fiz uma entrevista na empresa Amazon (Seattle, WA).
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
