      Financial Analyst Interview

      Aug 1, 2016
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      Seattle, WA
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Jul 2016

      Interview

      This whole process was chaotic and disjointed. I started talking to one recruiter, interviewed well for one job, then was handed off to another recruiter for a second interview. That recruiter told me to prepare to give examples of how my work has shown the 14 Amazon leadership principles and had a scheduler contact me to set up a time. 10 minutes before our scheduled time, the scheduler emailed me, saying that my interviewer had an urgent matter to attend to, and moved the interview to the following day. The second interview was conducted by a man with a heavy accent and was 100% technical. I wasted several days preparing for questions I wasn't asked. I wasn't mentally prepared to answer technical questions - and not because they were outside of my breadth of knowledge, but because I has spent all of my time focusing on the Leadership Principles.

      Question 1

      Answer question

      Question 3

      Let's say that management wanted to evaluate running a special on the laptops I mentioned to boost sales growth back to 40%, how would you evaluate such a promotion?
