Me postulé en línea. Acudí a una entrevista en Amazon (Singapur) en abr 2021
Entrevista
3 rounds of interview with hiring and a business manager. All interviews via zoom- 1st & 2nd round - Q&A. 3rd round on test assessment. The hiring manager asked me to download a table. She just asked me to give her forecast for selling prices and sales forecasts for one month based on 1 week sales. No breakdown of daily sales . Honestly, no buyers in any organisation give forecast based on 1 week consolidated sales. I doubt the experience and background of the hiring manager.
Screening call with recruiter, followed by 3 back-to-back interview loops. Interviews focused primarily on behavioral questions tied to Amazon Leadership Principles, along with an Excel assessment testing analytical and data manipulation skills.
The process was well-structured and followed Amazon’s typical interview format:
1. Recruiter Screening
* Initial discussion about experience, role scope, and expectations
* Basic behavioral and background questions
2. Hiring Manager Interview
* Focus on past experience, business impact, and ownership
* Mix of behavioral and situational questions
3. Interview Loop (3–5 interviews)
* Multiple interviewers covering different Amazon Leadership Principles
* Included a Bar Raiser interview
* Heavy focus on:
* Decision-making
* Trade-offs
* Metrics and impact
* Depth of ownership

Useless leadership principles framed in behavioral question. Tell me about a time when
You start with an online assessment, which is relatively easy. Then a recruiter reaches out to you if you pass and will ask standard hiring questions. After which, you will then have a phone screen interview and if you pass, you do an interview loop with 5 people. Which is insane for a role that does not pay 100K annually. They also make you go prepare 12-20 STAR stories that you should pretty much memorize.
