      Area Manager Interview

      Aug 29, 2019
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      New Westminster, BC
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (New Westminster, BC) in May 2019

      Interview

      Amazon recruiter contacted me on LinkedIn saying that i would be a perfect fit for Area Manager's position, since it is basically the same what i was doing at my work at that time. We had a friendly and pleasant phone interview. After i got to do some online assessment test. And after that i got invited for an in-person interview. Which was the worst interview experience i ever had. It was long (3 hours) and exhausting, questions very difficult, at some point it makes you wonder are you interviewing for some Project Manager or higher position... I think the bar is set too high unnecessarily. Area Manager is the lowest management position in Amazon fulfillment centers, but it feels that they are looking for some geniuses. Anyways, i am a Caucasian woman and i was interviewed separately by 3 men, all of them being from the same background and ethnicity, which i think resulted in me not getting an offer quite much. There should be a diversity in my opinion. Otherwise i can't find another reason for not getting an offer: my experience, education and skills were exactly what was required, even more. I answered all the questions in STAR method, all my answers were based on real projects i have done in my previous work experience. I left the interview drained, tired, with a headache and sour feeling...

      Tell me about the time when you had the professional sacrifice in order to meet your goals? Tell me about the time when you had to improve the process and it didn't go well, what criticism did you get, what did you learn from it?

      I interviewed at Amazon (Edison, NJ)

      Interview

      Was contacted much later about my application. First had a intro zoom presentation session where the role was explained, then a one on one with 2 interviewers. It was honestly not that bad. Prepared by knowing the Leadership Principles.

      Give me an example of a calculated risk that you have taken where speed was critical. What was the situation and how did you handle it? What steps did you take to mitigate the risk? What was the outcome? Knowing what you know now, would you have done anything differently?
