J'ai postulé via un recruteur. Le processus a pris 2 semaines. J'ai passé un entretien chez Amazon (Charlotte, NC) en juil. 2015
Entretien
Bad attitude from Interviewer . The job description had mentioned SAS skill-set, but the interviewer said they use it less that 1% of the time . The interviewer rather getting to know me, showcased his knowledge about the business (which obviously will be high since he works for them ).
I wish Amazon stopped asking some 20 year olds to interview, the interviewer had no pragmatic vision and was a total jerk.
Please stop wasting your time for this position.

Interviewed for Business Analyst role at Amazon and honestly the process felt exhausting and impersonal.
The interviewers seemed far more focused on checking boxes against the 14 Leadership Principles than actually understanding the candidate or having a genuine conversation. Almost every question was another version of a STAR behavioral scenario, even when it barely related to the actual role.
The process felt extremely rehearsed and rigid. There was little effort to make the candidate feel comfortable or valued, and it often felt like they had already decided the outcome before the interview even started.
Technical and analytical depth barely mattered compared to how perfectly you could package stories into Amazon’s preferred format. If you don’t have polished STAR stories memorized for every possible situation, the process can feel unnecessarily difficult and draining.
Overall, one of the most mentally exhausting interview experiences I’ve had.
