I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (London, England) in Nov 2022
Interview
The negative aspects primarily revolved around the behavior and demeanor of the hiring manager.
From the onset, the hiring manager was notably late to the interview. Punctuality is a basic professional courtesy, and the tardiness set an unprofessional tone for the entire interaction. Despite being aware of the scheduled time, the manager's lack of timeliness demonstrated a disregard for the value of the candidate's time.
Moreover, the manager's demeanor throughout the interview was cold and detached. There was a distinct lack of warmth or engagement, creating an uncomfortable atmosphere. It felt as though the manager was disinterested and not fully present during the conversation. This lack of enthusiasm from a key decision-maker raises concerns about the company culture and its commitment to fostering a positive and collaborative work environment.
Effective communication and interpersonal skills are crucial for any leadership role, and unfortunately, these were lacking in this particular hiring manager. A successful interview process is not only about evaluating the candidate but also about presenting the company in a positive light.
While I appreciate the opportunity to interview with Amazon, I believe that a more respectful and engaging interview process would better reflect the company's values and contribute to a more positive candidate experience.
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.
