I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in May 2010
Interview
I was contacted by the recruiter because my friend who is at a decently senior position referred me. After identifying the right position and couple of phone screening by the hiring manager and couple of their team members, I was called in for in-person interviews.
I had 7 interviews and I thought they all went really well. Every individual grilled on a seperate subject and I did not agree with some of their strategy and ideology which I made very clear through my answers. Looks like while most of them really enjoyed the fresh perspective the hiring manager wanted someone who will fit their mold and after 2 weeks the recuirter got back saying that I was not the best fit for the job.
Furthermore, I also had a in-person interview with HR at the end where she discussed about how flexbile I was with my salary expectations as they had made me fill form the form with my current salary and my expected salary. When I mentioned that my flexiblity is not a lot, I think that also might have played a part in their decision as they were reluctant to give me a 15% more than what I currently make.
The interview process involved various steps but wasn’t too taxing. You had to meet various people and chat to them about your experience. There wasn’t a task to complete or anything so that was a blessing!
After 8 interviews they told me they were inclined to hire me but just with a lower position. They said that they would have checked if possible and if not they would have made sure to find a position for me in the company. Well, they just ghosted me
All is about OLP. You should prepare about 10 episodes and assume OLPs you might be assigned, and associate with the episodes that match to OLP. It would be better to use different episodes for each interviewer, but you can use same ones.
