Me postulé en línea. Acudí a una entrevista en Amazon
Entrevista
Incredibly one sided, the interview process in a perfect situation should feel comfortable for both the applicant and to the employer but this was not the case. First stage was a screening call with a recruiter where they just inquire about your past experience. The next stage/interview you would expect to be with someone who is either on the team that you will be joining or with someone who has a plethora of experience in the field/vertical you're going into but this wasn't the case. I was interviewed by someone new to advertising field and was mostly asked behavioral question and told to strictly adhere to their "STAR" method. Although i prepared examples to match their leadership principles using the STAR method it still felt as though i was being tested on how well i could conform my behavior and line of thinking to the "amazon way' and not being assessed on the skills and applicable experience i bring to the table. If you're comfortable conforming for the sake of working for a large brand such as amazon then this shouldn't be a problem, but the process itself felt robotic and cold which leads me to believe that the experience i would have had if i received an offer would've been the same.

Tell me about a time when you had to complete a task outside of the responsibilities of your role? (need to strictly adhere to the STAR method or everything you say is irrelevant),
Great management, it was a walk in drive and the HR team was able to manage everything well. Enjoyed the process.
All the best to everyone going for the interview.
