Me postulé en línea. El proceso tomó 3 semanas. Acudí a una entrevista en Amazon (Dublín, Dublín) en feb 2021
Entrevista
The process was awful if I'm honest. It took the coordinator 3 weeks to confirm a date for the phone screening and when I eventually spoke to the recruiter she was 25 minutes late for the call. I emailed the coordinator and she had to chase the recruiter as she was double booked.
When we did finally speak she was unsure of the role she was screening for in the first place and secondly the JD was describing a role in the UK, not Ireland.
Once the screening started the recruiter was having internet issues so we had to hang up and dial into a phone bridge (No ones fault) but this disrupted the flow of the conversation. Then as we started to chat her doorbell rang and she was distracted and shouted to her partner several times to answer the door. When we finally did get into the flow of the conversation the screening was over.
I feel really hard done by not getting through to the first round interview as the role I applied for is very similar to my current role working for a very similar organisation. And the worst thing is, Amazon has a policy not to provide feedback so I have no idea why I didn't even get to the first stage of the process.
I am disappointed with the experience and will focus on AWS instead of Amazon for roles going forward.

Describe a situation where you had to make a difficult choice and what were your other options.
Il processo di selezione per la posizione di IT Manager in Amazon è stato intenso, professionale e ben organizzato. Dopo aver inviato la candidatura online, sono stato contattato da un recruiter entro due settimane per un primo colloquio conoscitivo. In questa fase si è parlato molto dei Leadership Principles di Amazon e di come le mie esperienze pregresse potessero rifletterli.
Successivamente ho sostenuto un colloquio tecnico con un IT Manager. Le domande vertevano sulla gestione dell'infrastruttura IT, il monitoraggio dei sistemi, la risposta agli incidenti e la leadership tecnica all'interno di team distribuiti.
L’ultima fase è stata un loop di colloqui (virtuali), dove ho parlato con 4 diversi interlocutori tra manager e stakeholder tecnici. Qui si sono concentrati soprattutto su casi pratici (tipo STAR) e situazioni di leadership, problem solving, gestione delle priorità e capacità di adattamento in ambienti in rapida evoluzione.
Nel complesso, è stata un’esperienza stimolante che mi ha permesso di comprendere meglio le aspettative di Amazon e il suo approccio orientato alla cultura aziendale. Consiglio a chiunque stia affrontando questo percorso di prepararsi bene sui Leadership Principles, di usare esempi concreti e di essere pronto a spiegare decisioni tecniche e manageriali in modo dettagliato.
It was thorough with multiple interviews involving multiple HR Reps. It wasn't stressful though compared to other IT job interviews. The job wasn't for me, but I recommend all to go for it.

Most of the questions are sent by your recruiter to prepare. Amazon is big on their leadership principles. Each question they ask is linked to a Leadership Principle if you review each of them and structure your answers to incorporate these then you should be good.
