I interviewed for a position in a newer branch of Amazon in the spring. I was contacted by a recruiter who setup a phone interview for another recruiter. This first interview was brief, and it was very clear that this conversation was just to check to make sure that my skills and past experiences would translate over. I passed the first recruiter interview, then was scheduled for another phone interview with one of the team leads for the Account Managers. Finally, I had a third interview with someone from HR. They spoke with me about salary requirements and the like. Although we were relocating due to my husband's employment anyway, they made it VERY clear in every interview that the position would not be eligible for relocation costs. (All 3 interviewers brought it up.)
I was scheduled for an in-person interview with 4 individuals with 4 other candidates (there were 3 positions posted online). It's my understanding that these 3 interviewers were different heads of departments for the AM teams, the fourth was HR again (the same gentleman I spoke with on the phone). My AM interviews all covered the same questions regarding qualifications, online market place experience, dealing with vendor relations, and customer support. We also looked over different online ads to identify which ads would be products that Amazon would promote and what verbiage looked correct.
Overall, it was a very positive experience, albeit arduous. Overall, between the recruiter interviews/followup, HR Interviews, and AM interviews, I had 10 interviews with them for the position. Ultimately, I was not offered the job, but all three positions were re-posted the following day, leading me to believe that none of us made it through the interview process. When I contacted the recruiter to follow up, and basically informed her I was still interested in the position, she wished me the best of luck and let me know that they were going in a different direction.
The recruiter, HR, and the AM Manager were all very helpful and as informative as they could be in an interview. While I was disappointed to not get the job, it was a very positive experience.
